Built in 1903, the building was designed in the French Beaux Arts style by Daniel H. Burnham Co., the famous Chicago architect. For many years, Joliet City offices were located in this structure. The 1991 library addition tripled the size of the existing structure. At a cost of 6.1 million, the addition utilized materials and design to match the original Burnham structure.
