Ruins of the Last Blockhouse of Old Fort Wayne, in 1852
As far as the writer has been able to learnn, the original daguerreotype from which the above pen drawing was made is the only existing photographic picture of any of the buildings which formed a part of old Fort Wayne. The daguerreotype is owned by Mrs. Adam Link, of Fort Wayne, who says of it: "The picture was made by Charles Stevens, of Kennebunk Port, Maine, who was here as the guest of his cousin, Mrs. O. L. Starkey, my mother, who was then Miss Hannah Fairfield. On the day the picture was made, 'Charley' Munson (later prominent in the affairs of the county, but then a mere lad) was driving his cow to the pasture in 'the old apple orchard,' in the present Lakeside. My mother and several others joined him for a walk. When they reached the ruined blockhouse, Mr. Stevens made the picture. The man at the top is John Fairfield, my uncle. The others, from left to right, are Amanda Henderson (Mrs. Bloomhuff) Addie Fairfield (Mrs. H. J. Ash), Priscilla Fairfield (Mrs. A. S. Hall), Hannah Fairfield (Mrs. O. L. Starkey), and 'Charley' Munson." 
     Miss Lizzie Johnson Says: "I am certain this building was torn down in 1852. On returning from a vacation in the summer of that year, we found everybody saying: "They've torn down the old fort."
     E. G. Anderson says of this building: "When we children came to Fort Wayne in 1846, with my father, Calvin Anderson, first landlord of the Hedekin house, this log building was still in good repair and was occupied by two Irish families. The Carroll family and Mr. Donovon, with his children, Tim, Mich and Ellen, were the last to make their homes in the historic structure. The building faced the east, overlooking the Maumee."
     John H. Jacobs, of Spy Run avenue, also remembers this building well as it was standing when he came to Fort Wayne. At the present time, there is a general feeling of deep regret that the fort was allowed to go into decay. The older residents explain the matter by the statement that the course of the Wabash and Erie canal required the destruction of one of the blockhouses and a palisade section, and that in the later years the ruined, dilapidated buildings became the rendezvous of undesirable citizens. The last building, shown in the illustration, was torn down by John Fairfield in 1852. Some of the wood was made into walking sticks which are preserved as relics.

See also "A Daguerreotype of the Fort" posted on the History Center Notes & Queries blog by John Beatty on 28 October 2010. He states that there are two daguerreotypes of the old 1816-era fort in the collection. Craig's Daguerrian Directory [Registry] indicates that Charles C. Stevens advertised himself as a daguerrian between June and November 1852 in rooms at the residence of John Fairfield on Main Street [Fort Wayne].
