Summary

[edit]
Description

“No, I have been shot in the heart and I know I cannot live.”

Carter Harrison was Mayor of Chicago in 1893. Eugene Patrick Prendergast, a deranged supporter of Harrison's, deluded himself that he was to be appointed to a position in Harrison's administration. When he wasn't given one he visited Harrison at his mansion, which was located here. Prendergast shot Harrison three times, in the abdomen, head, and hand. 40 minutes later Carter Harrison died.

Prendergast turned himself into a local police station. He was sentenced to death and hanged on July 13, 1894.

A memorial service for Mayor Harrison was held at the Chicago World's Fair on its closing day, October 30, 1893.
