The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is a Chicago trade periodical of 1887 published by the Inland Publishing Company for architects and builders. Its pages carry photographic plates of buildings and interiors, several captioned with the commissioning client and location. The first picture shows a classical colonnaded facade with figures on a street, the second a residence stairway hall in Highland Park, Illinois, with carved newel posts, a panelled wall and a patterned rug, and the third a tall office block under scaffolding with a bank signboard at street level; together they offer a designer useful references for Beaux-Arts facades, Arts and Crafts interiors and early skyscraper massing.
