The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is an 1887 architectural periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Publishing Company for architects, builders and the building trade. Its pages mix trade advertisements for parquet flooring and glass with rotated photographs of interiors, floor plans of institutional buildings, and an engraved view of a dormitory on the University of Chicago campus. A designer could draw on the crisp black-line plans and the dense small-type layouts of late nineteenth-century trade print for grids, hierarchy and period texture.
