Newberry estate trustees Blatchford and Bradley arranged with architect Henry Ives Cobb for the construction of the permanent library building on Walton Street in Chicago, they also contracted to build a temporary structure that would later become part of the Library-owned Irving Apartments.
Includes building firm contracts and statements, Newberry Library estate trustee correspondence with architect Henry Ives Cobb, and trustee statements of account.
