Erected in 1872.After the Great Fire in Chicago destroyed the first Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co, store, William Hibbard resumed temporary business at his home at 1701 Prairie. Hibbard’s home was open not only to his firm, but for all friends whose families needed shelter. Customers responded generously to an appeal to pay their outstanding obligations promptly. Orders were filled from New York, and new supplies were rushed to Chicago from New York and Milwaukee. The Hibbard stable was jammed with hardware, and a big shed was erected in the garden. The drawing room space not filled with desks was stored with cutlery. The clerks slept on the floor and ate in the kitchen.
