The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is an 1887 Chicago periodical for architects and builders, published by the Inland Publishing Company. Its pages mix running text with photographic plates of medieval English buildings, including a vaulted cathedral interior, a stone archway with carved capitals, and a fortified gatehouse with crenellated towers. A designer could take from them the ribbed stone vault, the textured masonry of old walls, and the strong silhouette of a castle gate as reference for form and material.
