Historic Info: from Illinois Digital Archives (information provided by the Libertyville-Mundelein Historical Society and the Cook Memorial Public Library)--"Street view of West Cook Street looking east toward Milwaukee Ave with the village hall on the left. Built in 1913, Libertyville's original village hall was located on West Cook Street. According to local historian Dean Larson, the village hall housed the fire station, jail, meeting rooms and the Alpha Club Library (the forerunner of Cook Memorial Library) in addition to the village offices. When the village moved its offices to the new Schertz Municipal Building on East Cook Street in 1970, the old village hall was almost completely demolished and a new fire station was constructed at the site. In 1994 the village returned to its roots and moved back to its original site after remodeling the fire station into a new village hall."
