Rebuilding Chicago, Oct. 1871
Kellogg & Bulkeley, Hartford, Connecticut
1872
The ruins of the great fire of Oct. 9th, were still smouldering, as the persistent and not to be disparaged citizens of that vast city came forward to clean up and rebuild. It was no question when—work began immediately, and many thousand laborers were everywhere busy removing rubbish and clearing the foundations. More than fifty thousand loads of waste material were deposited in the Lake, only one day following the great conflagration, showing energy and spirit unparalleled. New buildings are going up every day, and no doubt Chicago will soon again astonish the world, by its wonderful and almost instantaneous reproduction.
