American architect and architecture microform.

Object Details

Notes: The publishers of this weekly journal of architecture, construction, and interior decoration promised that it would be national in scope and would furnish a full record of important news in architecture and building in the country and, when possible, in foreign countries. The American Architect and Architecture dealt with all aspects of building--construction, mechanics, building laws, drainage, sanitary systems, studies of European and ancient architecture, and much more. It contained many full-page illustrations of both private homes and public buildings, with designs for them, and an advertising section listing builders' supplies and names of architects painters, and other tradesmen. In the 1930's the magazine adopted a more modern format, and had less text and more pictures and advertisements than before. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900.; Title from cover.
