Trading Up: Some Surprising Samples from the Athenaeum Building Trade Collections

This exhibit will showcase many items from collections in our care that document buildings and their components but are not specifically architectural in nature. These materials range from trade catalogues to paint samples, lighting designs to renderings of stained glass. Prominently featured will be the Hydraulic Press Brick Company Collection which includes photographs, lantern slides, advertisements, brick molds and a wonderful set of employee productivity-improvement posters featuring the company’s mascot, Mr. Hy-tex.
