Henry B. and Caroline Clarke/Bishop Louis Henry and Margaret Ford House (Clarke-Ford House)

Built in 1836 for Henry B. Clarke, the Clarke-Ford House is Chicago’s oldest house. Formerly called the Henry B. Clarke House, the name was changed in 2022 to acknowledge the profound roles of Bishop Louis Henry and Margaret Ford in preserving the house and to recognize the contributions of Caroline Palmer Clarke.

The Story of the Seal
