overview : The Old Market House, constructed in 1845-1846, was the focal point of community life during Galena's heyday. The greek revival Old Market House sheltered vendors and shoppers, who gathered in the heart of the river city's business district until 1910. - Ownership of the building was transferred to the State of Illinois in 1947, and the Old Market House was restored in 1955.
