The Lemont Area Historical Society has generously offered to share photos and accompanying information with Patch readers each week, depicting people, places and things from the village's storied past.

This week's featured photo shows the 400 block of Main Street in downtown Lemont. Residents might recognize the original structure of Village Hall, which was constructed in the 1890s.

Village Hall still stands today, though the building recently underwent extensive renovations.
