INTERIOR VIEW, FORT DEARBORN
This replica of Fort Dearborn, one of Chicago's
most thrilling historical monuments, was constructed
on the shore of Lake Michigan at Twenty-Sixth
Street, for the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition.
Near here stood the original Fort Dearborn, and
still nearer occurred in 1812 the massacre by
Indians of the brave inhabitants of the Fort. The
picture shows, left to right, the officers' barracks,
a corner of the blockhouse, the powder magazine,
soldiers' barracks. The corners of the two other
barracks appear on either side of the picture.
