| Title | Kinzie House near Fort Dearborn in 1804, n.d. |
| Description | Postcard. The Kinzie House near Fort Dearborn, 1804, from the painting by Lawrence C. Earle in the Banking Room of the Central Trust Company of Illinois, 152 Monroe St., Chicago. When DuSable sold his house and property in the early 1800s, there was a small polyglot community being formed, made up of transient Miami and Potawatomi French-Indian families, the extended Scots-Canadian Kinzie family and a detachment of United States soldiers who came to build Fort Dearborn. This community remained small, numbering no more than 350 in 1833, when Chicago was incorporated as a town. |
