Description: City Hall in the Hazel Avenue/Prospect Avenue Historic District in Highland Park, IL (1930). Built with Wisconsin limestone, it is the third city hall built for the town. Highland Park was founded in 1869 from the merging of the towns of St. John and Port Clinton. In 1899, the town annexed the adjacent suburb of Ravinia. Horace Cleveland was hired to plat the streets of the settlement. Unlike many other suburbs of the time, Highland Park embraced the influx of Jewish settlers following World War II.
