About Us :

301 West Madison Street officially became City Hall on September 13, 1965 when Mayor Dan Riordan moved the City´s business offices from 422 LaSalle Street where they shared offices with the Police and Fire Departments. This relocation brought the daily business of the City back to the same block where two other City Halls once stood; one on the north side of Madison Street between Clinton Street and Fulton Street that was destroyed by The Great Fire in 1881 and another at 315 West Madison Street (1926-1937).

The 2002 renovation has successfully accomplished a blend of the old with the new to create modern-day offices while retaining the building´s unique amenities and historic flavor.
