The current Village Hall is the fourth building to house Village offices.
The first designated municipal building was a small structure constructed by Christ Wille in 1923 and attached to the Crowfoot Manufacturing Building along Northwest Highway.
The second municipal building was the first free-standing government building, which gave Mount Prospect a more polished professional image. It became the town’s pride and joy for decades. Its doors opened in 1949 on the corner of Northwest Highway and Maple Street.
By the mid-1970s, Mount Prospect outgrew the second building and government offices moved into the former Mount Prospect State Bank building on Emerson Street. The Police and Fire Departments remained in the old municipal building until it was demolished in 1991 and replaced by the Public Safety building.
The present-day Village Hall was constructed in 2004.
