A Glimpse into Chicago's Past: The Early 19th Century Kinzie House This image brings us back in time to the early 19th century, when Chicago was still in its infancy. Nestled on the banks of the Chicago River, the humble Kinzie House stands as a testament to the city's rich history. Built by John Kinzie in the early 1800s, this house was the very first permanent structure in what would later become one of the world's great metropolises. Kinzie, an American fur trader, established a trading post near the site of the present-day house, making him one of the city's earliest settlers. The image reveals a simple, yet charming, log cabin-style house with a gabled roof and a small porch. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees, and the Chicago River flows peacefully in the background. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the bustling, modern city that Chicago has become. As Chicago grew, so did the Kinzie House. It was expanded several times over the years, and in the late 1800s, it was moved to a new location near the Chicago History Museum. Today, it stands as a cherished reminder of Chicago's past, a time when the city was just beginning to make its mark on the world. This photograph, taken in the early 19th century, offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era. It invites us to imagine a time when Chicago was a small, quiet settlement, and to appreciate the remarkable transformation it has undergone since then.
