did-you-kno: H.H. Holmes was one of the first documented American serial killers. Holmes opened a castle hotel which he had designed and built for himself specifically with murder in mind, and which was the location of many of his murders. Source If you guys haven’t already, pick up Devil In The White City by Erik Larson. Absolutely incredible novel that intertwines the lives of Daniel Burnham and H.H.Holmes. The storyline’s kind of jumbled, but it definitely adds to the hysteria that was the 1893 World’s fair. I think its a Must Read for any true Chicagoan. This is very interesting.
