The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is an 1887 trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Publishing Company for architects and builders. Its pages mix photographic plates of completed townhouses with trade advertisements for fireproofing, printing, drawing supplies and magnesia covering. Designers can take from the photographs the restrained brick and stone facades of late nineteenth-century city residences, with their balconies, bay windows and ironwork railings, and from the advertisements the dense typography and heavy display lettering of the period.
