Digest of the statutes and of the ordinances relating to the inspection and construction of buildings in the city of Boston, 1887
A municipal building code digest issued by the City of Boston in 1887 and printed by Rockwell and Churchill, compiling statutes and ordinances on building inspection and construction for builders, architects and inspectors. The plates are hand-colored line diagrams on tinted grounds showing masonry piers, footings, wall sections and plans of piling, with hatched stonework, dimension figures and handwritten annotations in script; useful for construction-detail line work, hatching textures and cursive labelling.
