Facts
The original design included a dome rising from the center of the building.
The city government occupies the west half of the building, and the east half houses the Cook County government.
The ground floor is crossed north-south and east-west by wide public passageways with vaulted mosaic ceilings.
In 1926 plans were prepared by Holabird & Roche to add 23 floors to the building, to be supported on caissons drilled below existing light courts.
The previous city hall was in the Lake View Building on Michigan Avenue.
