"Das Alte Rathaus zählt zu den bedeutendsten Fachwerkbauten im fränkischen Stil in der Region. 1498 wurde das Gebäude erstmals als "Spilhuss" des Gerichts zu Vilbel erwähnt. 1573 erhielt das Haus ein Obergeschoß aus Fachwerk und das spitze Giebeldach.
Seine gegenwärtige Gestalt mit Rundbogenportalen und Rundbogenfenstern erhielt das Untergeschoss in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Altes Rathaus hinter blühenden roten RosenDer Dreißigjährige Krieg ging ohne Schäden an dem Gebäude vorüber, auch der Siebenjährige Krieg änderte an der schmucken Fassade nichts. Sogar der Zweite Weltkrieg verschonte das Rathaus, als ringsherum Bomben fielen und Häuser in Trümmer sanken. Heute befindet sich das Stadesamt in den Räumen des Alten Rathauses."
