Handbook for architects and builders
A professional reference issued by the Illinois Society of Architects in Chicago from 1898 onward, compiling construction data, building codes and trade advertising for practising architects, contractors and suppliers. Halftones and line cuts show multi-storey commercial blocks in three-quarter view, cornice and window details, factory and loft exteriors with delivery trucks — useful for cropped facade patterns, repeating window grids and period masonry texture.
