Description
"H. H. Holmes" was born in New Hampshire in 1861. He abandoned his young wife and their child in 1885 to move to Illinois. Once there, he changed his name to Holmes in honour of the fictional English detective Sherlock Holmes, in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's literary work.
Shortly after arriving in Chicago, Holmes worked at a pharmacy near Jackson Park, and eight years later, Jackson Park became the site of the 1893 World's Exhibition.
The Colombian exhibition, as it was then called, was designed by some of America's most important architects, including Frederick Law Olmsted, and featured exhibitions from more than 40 countries.
