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 the Indians of the brave inhabitants of the Fort. The picture shows, left to right, the officer's 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.
