Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire
The Richard H. Driehaus Museum’s Up from the Ashes Walking Tour Highlights the Nickerson Mansion
The Richard H. Driehaus Museum, located at 40 East Erie St., is pleased to announce its programming around the sesquicentennial of the Great Chicago Fire. The Driehaus Museum is uniquely poised to tell the story of this historic event because it is housed in the Nickerson Mansion. Built from 1879-1883, it is one of Chicago’s earliest fire-proof residences that rose from the ashes of the Chicago Fire.
