| Description | The Simeon Farwell House, part of the Evanston Lakeshore Historic District (1890). The 1890 Queen Anne was designed by John M. Van Osdel. Farwell was born in Campbelltown, NY in 1831, a descendent of Henry Farwell, a founder of Concord, MA. He moved with his family to Ogle County in 1838; his father was one of the first settlers in the county. Farwell attended school at Mt. Morris Seminary and moved to Chicago in 1849. He served as Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court for two years. After briefly working as a clerk for the George Smith banking house, he decided to become a dry goods merchant. He accepted a position with Cooley, Wadsworth & Co. to learn the trade. He was bookkeeper for the buisness until 1860, and was named a partner in 1870. Farwell's brother John V. Farwell served as partner from 1860, when the store was renamed Cooley, Farwell & Co. In 1865, the store was again renamed to John V. Farwell & Co. Several notable merchants worked at the company, including Marshall Field and Levi Leiter. Simeon became Vice President of the company in 1890 and President in 1900. He also served as a director of the Metropolitan National Bank. Another brother, Charles B. Farwell, became a US Senator, serving from 1887 to 1891. |
