The building sits in the heart of downtown St. Charles along the east bank of the Fox River just a few steps from the Main Street bridge. Its Art Deco facade and clocktower casts a dramatic dynamic against the modern downtown.
This building house the Mayor's office, City Administrator's office and a number of city departments. It is open to the public during the day. City Council meeting are held here, as are several other public meetings.
