This modest building is one of the few surviving early farmhouses located
within the Chicago city limits. It was built as the residence of John
Wingert, one of a number of immigrants who, in seeking refuge from
religious persecution in Germany, created a settlement called Canfield
on the prairie frontier. The building has been added onto several times,
including the distinctive two-story, Italianate-style section. |
