Oblong 4to. 12 x 9 in. 40 original silver gelatin linen-backed photographs, all w/ photographer's imprint w/in negative, stamped on verso, or in a couple cases embossed in lower corner, all w/ facing typescript description on verso of the prior photograph, except for inserted leaf at front for the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. Storage Building, all mounted on white linen-hinges at gutter margin. Flexible faux-calf post-binder, yapp fore-edges, gilt lettering stamped on front cover, ruling in blind, brass screwposts at gutter margin, rounded corners (minor edgewear, rubbing and slight fraying to foot of spine), still a NF bright exemplar. This salesman sample & souvenir sales photo album depicts 39 different buildings (2 for St. Louis, MO iconic Civil Court House) across the West and Midwest, with specific descriptions on architects, lot size, owners, building date, style of building, and location. Some of the most significant American architects from the opening decades of the 20th Century are represented here, such as Albert Kahn Chicago, Illinois, as well as how their partnership with Selden-Breck transformed the Western and Midwestern urban architectural landscape. Photos depict the Univ. of Michigan Library, now the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library, along with the Michigan Union Building at South Street & South Univ. Ave. in Ann Arbor, MI; as well as Kahn's 12 story building erected in 1925 for the Mahoning National Bank in Youngstown, OH. Selden-Breck includes here as well the Kemp Hotel in Wichita Falls, TX erected in 1920, demolished later in 1964, and well-known as an early popular destination with all rooms air-conditioned; the Bob Waggoner Building in Wichita Falls, TX, a 7 story concrete frame office building, finished in 1920, and no longer standing; along with the "Chronicle Building" in Houston, TX, a 10 story structure designed by Mauran, Russell & Crowell of St. Louis, and when completed in 1910 was the tallest building in Houston. The Chronicle's headquarters remained at 801 Texas, and eventually a new glass-and-granite facade was erected and absorbed nearby buildings. As evidenced by the photographs here, Selden-Breck Construction Co. cranes and projects dominated Omaha, Nebraska as their structures entirely modernized the cityscape, and pulled the previously nondescript Western city into becoming an important transportation and architectural hub. Buildings include those of the classic Riviera Theatre, a Moroccan Revival design by Chicago architect, John Eberson, which featured lavish stage shows and movies, and was considered the most elegant entertainment facility in the Midwest, later sold to Paramount, and transformed in the 1990's into the Rose Blumkin Performing Arts Center. Others include the Paxton Hotel, Lord Lister Hospital, Omaha Athletic Club, Bankers Reserve Life, Sharp Building, Conant Hotel, World Herald, Reserve Apartments, and Reserve Apartments. Other historic structures included the Woodmen of the World 18 story skyscraper designed by Holabird & Roche, whose Italian Renaissance facade sported pink granite and terracotta, 30-foot high ceilings, but demolished in 1977; or, the Fontenelle Hotel, 12 story which operated as a hotel until 1971, and razed to the ground in 1983. All of the rooms originally had a telephone, ice water on tap, and maintained an around-the-clock laundery service on the 13th floor. Other notable buildings include the Rich & Sons Department Store 6 story building in downtown Atlanta, now known as "The 1924 Building;" the Hippee-Polk Building in Des Moines, IA, which when completed in 1913 was Iowa's tallest skyscraper, and now a hotel; or, the fascinating Civil Court House in St. Louis, MO, built 1928, completed in 1930, and and topped with a pyramid designed to resemble the Mausoleum at Helicarnassus, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, featuring 32 Ionic Columns, roof of cast aluminum, and sphinxes sculpted by Cleveland sculptor and artist, Steven A. Rebeck. Two different buildings designed by the famed New Orleans firm, Favrot & Livaudais, include the Southern Baptist Hospital -- now owned by the Ochsner Health System, with the original entrance abandoned now following Hotel Katrina, and the Cotton Exchange Building, now transformed into a bank and hotel at One Shell Square. Commercial photographers who shot these images, include George Beach of Houston, TX; Louis R. Bostwick of Omaha, NE; Charles L. Franck & Louis T. Fritch of New Orleans, LA; many by W.C. Persons, Commercial Photographers of St. Louis, MO, Tyner & Murphy; as well as Fred L. Stone, and Rufus Buchanan of "That Man Stone Co." in Oklahoma City, OK. Breck (1861-1938) first founded the company in 1903, had worked for the US Geodetic Survey in California, the Pacific Coast Railroad, Oregon Railway & Navigation Co., before managing the Tennessee Phosphate, and later Terminal Traction Co.
