Monadnock Building, Chicago: Fourth Avenue elevation

printed 1890-1892

- Twenty hectographs of the Monadnock Building were probably cut apart when the southern half, owned by Shepherd Brooks, became the Kearsarge Building in 1889 (DR1986:0767:120). The southern half of the building (DR1986:0767:466:001-042 and DR1986:0767:467:001-054) was cut out, leaving the northern half (DR1986:0767:048 - DR1986:0767:056, DR1986:0767:248 - DR1986:0767:257, and DR1986:0767:259). The hectographs were possibly divided so that two discrete sets of reprographic copies could be produced for the Monadnock and Kearsarge Buildings.

- Sheet is dirty and creased throughout, especially at edges. There are many tears and losses at edges. Perforations at the l. edge indicate that the sheet was formerly bound with other sheets. A portion of the sheet has been cut out at c. and the resulting hole has been patched with a sheet of paper on the verso.
