Kearsarge Building, Chicago: Cut out framing plans

printed after 1889

- 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.
