| Description |
Linfoot & Fleu, the short-lived lithographic publishing partnership between architect Benjamin Linfoot and Germantown printer
Conyers Fleu, was active 1870-1871. The firm formed in 1870 to publish Philadelphia's second architectural journal, "The American
Architect and Builders' Monthly," which included lithographic illustrations of buildings and plans. Their lithograph firm,
listed in an 1871 Philadelphia city directory at 328 Walnut Street, dissolved after approximately nine months when the journal
ceased operations in January, 1871. In 1874, Linfoot received a certificate of honorable mention for a water color drawing
"South Transept Cathedral" exhibited at the Franklin Institute.
