Phone Booth on Lincoln City Hall

700 Broadway Street, Lincoln, IL 62656

Historic Sites

Built in 1895, the red brick for the building came from the Lincoln Coal Company. A unique telephone booth on the roof was added later and was used by weather spotters to phone in sighted storms. Lincoln City Hall anchors the downtown National Historic Registered District and is one of the city's most visible symbols.
