But young Chicago, like 129 ^ome iSecolIection^ of its more mature self, grew so rapidly that by the time the purchase had been completed, the site was found to be too small for the city, which had sprung so suddenly into a metrop- olis, and so it was never used for the purpose.
But the thrifty sheriff of Cook county, whose home was on the site of the Madison Street front, put the vacant space in the rear to good use as a vegetable garden. Then, after a time, the property fell into the ownershi...p of John V. Farwell, and in 1866 or 1867 he pre- sented the lot to the Young Men's Christian Association, which, under the direction of D wight L. Moody, had became a power for good in the community, but was sadly in need of large accommodations. September 19, 1867, the first Farwell Hall was dedicated with imposing ceremonies, as befitted the in- auguration of a work destined to become one of the most important in the world's religious life. But the hopes of the founders were doomed to grievous disappointment, for Janu- ary 7, 1868, the building was burned to the ground.
