The Niles City Hall was built between 1882 and 1884 as a home for Niles businessman, Henry A. Chapin. The Queen Anne styled home was designed by Wheelock and Clay of Chicago. The house was bought by the City of Niles in 1932 for $300 with the stipulation that it be used for civic purposes only. The mansion was converted to be the city hall and the carriage house was converted for use as the Fort St. Joseph Museum.
