World's Columbian Exposition
Chicago, Illinois
1893
From the New York Observer, Sept., 1893 - "The modelling (sic) is
particularly fine, and was worked out in accordance with detail drawings
prepared by the architect, Mr. Bradford Lee Gilbert, of New York. To
illustrate the progress in Railroad Station Architecture during recent
years, Mr. Gilbert consented to loan a very fine collection of drawings
representing work that has been executed after designs from his office,
these "black and white" drawings costing about eight thousand dollars. The
collection shows many desirable and picturesque railroad stations at various
points throughout the United States and Mexico, and admirably illustrates
the advancement that has been made of late years in railroad architecture.
Mr. Gilbert has made a specialty of this branch of architecture for nearly
twenty years."
