Pioneer Court

It is believed to be the site of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable's original residence and trading post.

In 1965, the plaza was built on the former site of his homestead as part of the construction of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of America building.

[2] John Kinzie, a prominent early settler, bought and expanded Point du Sable's post in 1800.

In 2017, a newly designed Apple Inc. store was opened on the south side of the court, which created new levels linking down to the river.

Also created by Seward Johnson, the statue, titled Return Visit, is 25 feet tall and depicts Abraham Lincoln standing next to a modern common man dressed in beige corduroy pants, sneakers and a cream color cable-knit sweater.
