World's Columbian Exhibition Vermont Building blueprints, 1893.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/775786839

The collection consists of one oversize folder containing ten blueprints for Jarvis Hunt's "Vermont Building," which appeared as part of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. These plans were sent to H. H. McIntyre of West Randolph, Vermont, by J. L. Silsbee, architect, of Chicago. The style of this building was indebted to Roman and Pompeiian architecture and was meant to demonstrate the quality of the marble from Vermont quarries. One hundred citizens made contributions of one hundred dollars each to finance the construction of this structure.

10 blueprints ; 73 x 56 cm. or smaller.
