Located
in
the
beautiful
Chicago
Women's
Park
and
Gardens,
the
Clarke
House
is
the
oldest
house
in
Chicago,
built
I
think
in
1830's
it
is
an
example
of
the
type
of
homes
that
those
who
were
well
off
could
afford
to
build.
Almost
all
of
the
furniture
has
been
replaced
with
period
pieces
from
other
houses,
but
it
still
paint
a
really
good
picture
as
to
what
the
place
might
have
looked
like
back
in
the
day.
It
is
very
interesting
to
see
the
different
scale
on
the
inside
since
people
were
simply
smaller
over
a
hundred
years
ago.
The
docent
(teacher
tour
guide)
was
amazing
and
explaining
the
architecture
and
what
they
were
hoping
to
achieve
with
the
use
of
space.
The
best
part
was
that
if
you
go
on
certain
days,
the
tour
is
free
and
is
paired
with
another
AMAZING
tour
if
the
Glessner
House.
