Handbook for architects and builders
A professional reference issued by the Illinois Society of Architects in Chicago in 1898, compiling construction standards, building-law diagrams and material specifications for working architects, builders and draftsmen. Plates run to hatched wall sections, setback and datum diagrams with lettered dimension keys, measured drawings of classical orders, and tonal renderings of cast-iron column and sill details usable as line texture and technical ornament.
