The county half has been officially occupied since July 5, 1907, and it is certain that the officers and employes (sic) of no county in the United States are more splendidly provided for."University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Librarytag:digital.library.illinois.edu,2005:Item/393832016-08-11T15:00:12Z2023-11-30T16:48:03ZLake View town hallCaption: "Town Hall of the former city of Lake View: Built in 1872 at a cost of seventeen thousand dollars, corner Addison and Halsted streets.

It was five years in building and cost six million dollars. The heavy style of architecture gives a mistaken impression of solidity and permanency, as the structure has begun to show signs of decay. Provision for a new building has been made by the County Board, which will probably be constructed on this site."University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Librarytag:digital.library.illinois.edu,2005:Item/392352016-08-11T14:59:59Z2023-11-30T16:47:44ZChicago City Council ChambersUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library
