The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is an 1887 Chicago trade periodical published by the Inland Publishing Company for architects and builders, with plates and advertisements. Its pictures show large Chicago commercial buildings drawn as street elevations and aerial views, alongside trade advertisements set in bold display lettering. A designer could take from them the dense grid of repeated windows in a tall masonry facade, and the period mix of ornate type and engraved building views.
