Note:

The Clarke-Ford House, a Greek Revival home built in 1836 for Henry B. Clarke and Caroline Palmer Clarke, is considered Chicago's oldest surviving house. The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Illinois has partnered with the Clarke-Ford House since 1978. The period-appropriate items assembled for this home were on display there until recently and have since been deaccessioned after a reinterpretation of the site.
