An account of the resource
Oil painting depicts the house owned by Henry Harms, the founder of Skokie in 1854. The 1869 farmhouse, built of hand-made brick, is shown with a porch and tall trees covered with colorful autumn leaves. <br /><br />This painting was commissioned by the Skokie Public Library Board of Trustees in 2002 to commemorate the third and final home of Henry Harms (1832-1913) who is considered to be Skokie's founder. The house was located at 5319 Oakton Street, just a block west of the Library, and was demolished after local fund-raising efforts to preserve the house, which was suffering from structural problems. The property was purchased by the Skokie Park District Board in 1999. <br /><br />Eugene J. Paprocki is a Chicago artist and his paintings are exhibited internationally.<br /><br /><b>Located on the east wall in southeast corner of the Second Floor.</b>
