Prairie du Chien City Hall

The Prairie du Chien City Hall is the city of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin's historic former city hall. It was built in 1894 on the grounds of the city's former opera house, which burned down the previous year. In addition to being the center of city government, the building held a civic auditorium, Prairie du Chien's first public library, a jail, and the city's police and fire departments. From 1929 to the 1950s, the American Legion held meetings and events there as well. In 2002–03, the city government moved to a new city hall.[2]
