THE REVERE HOUSE.—-All old residents of Chicago were once familiar with the old Revere House, which long since was pulled down to make room for our present McCormick’s block. The name was discontinued, but not lost. It has been resurrected and applied to the old Foster House, which having lain idle for two years, is about to be opened under a new name by Mr. G. Dutcher, formerly of the Capitol House, of Madison, Wis. The way in which the house has been rejuvenated would surprise any one who knew it only as the “Foster.” The richest carpets, the best furniture, and the most excellent cuisine and sanitary arrangements are provided, and if the new proprietor and his clerk—H. M. Kinsley, only act up to the facihties there presented, they cannot fail to make their guests feel at home. The house will be open for inspection by the public on Monday, and for the reception of guests on Tuesday next.
