Abstract (en)

The Inland architect (founded 1883) was a professional journal that published speeches, conferences, and meetings in which the architects of late 19th-c. Chicago theorized their own work. This article seeks to expand scholarship on the journal to include the particular theory of architecture that it adopted and encouraged. It concludes that the Inland architect borrowed from European theory, and viewed architecture in relation to the new science of ethnography, placing itself at the forefront of both racial and architectural progress.
