The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is a Chicago architectural periodical published by the Inland Publishing Company in 1887, written for architects and builders. Its pages pair running text on design and building with photographic plates of Chicago houses and civic buildings, including a residence for J. Rosenwald and a house on Lexington Avenue for Mr. Finch. The photographs are sober and documentary, showing façades, porches, and street frontages in clear daylight, which a designer could use for studying early twentieth-century American residential massing, cornice detail, and classical column treatment.
