The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is a Chicago architectural periodical published by the Inland Publishing Company in 1887, aimed at building professionals. Its photographic plates show a ruined downtown block with a standing office tower, a riverside warehouse by Frost & Granger, and a university dining hall with long oak tables and rows of chairs. A designer could draw on the stone-and-brick commercial facades, the rhythmic window grids, and the Gothic-revival interior.
