The Willett-Pashley Architectural Library

Acquired in 1965, this is the working library of a firm of late 19th century Chicago architects. The Willett-Pashley collection consists of 800 volumes concerned with architecture and engineering during the formative period at the end of the 19th century. It contains a number of works demonstrating the early use of iron construction as well as many illustrated texts on the reproduction of European stone construction in American wood and iron.
