Chicago City Hall and Cook County Courthouse at LaSalle and Washington Streets with the County Wings just added in 1870.
One of the urn-like finial capstones of the new wings was removed by a wealthy souvenir collector named Seth Wadhams. The capstone now is displayed in the southwest corner of Wilder Park in suburban Elmhurst, Illinois.
