When I first visited Peorias City Hall as a young man on leave in 40's it restored my faith in humanity.
There's no doubt that Pasadena has a lovely City Hall, but note this comment made in the Peoria Herald --January 6, 1899
"The new building stands today a model of what Peoria contractors, Peoria architects and Peoria artisans can do. It is said by those who have visited similar building in various parts of the United States, that while there are larger and more expensive buildings in the country (like Pasadena--ok, that part I just put in), there are none more complete or substantial". Peoria Herald January 6, 1899
When famed architect Philip Johnson was designing the plans for Peoria's Civic Center, he claimed that he wanted to design a building that wrapped around Peoria's City Hall --"like a jewel necklace wrapped around the neck of the Grande Dame of Peoria"
Just walking into Peoria's City Hall, you're greeted by Love Knows No Caste by sculptor Fritz Tribel. That sculpture is breathtaking.
Love the council chambers in Peoria's City Hall--beautiful woodwork and drapery!
Ive heard it said that once Puff Daddy, who was doing a sound check at the civic center, accidentally wandered into Peoria's CIty Hall. Upon seeing the beautiful rotunda, he dropped to his knees and wept. Peoria is the clear winner.

Peoria all the way!!
We are falling a bit behind......VOTE for PEORIA !
People of Peoria : VOTE !
We have been living in Pasadena since 2001. And boy it has been such a wonderful journey. Pasadena and its gorgeous city hall, its vibrant and always lively Old Town, its world famous California Institute of Technology, its entrepreneur-spirited local start-up culture, its wonderful mix of minorities from all around the world, its excellent public transport system and its grand city planning style encouraging its citizens to walk more and drive less, shop locally and support their neighboring cities makes it a wonderful paradise in the Southern California.
A lot of the Peoria comments discuss its history, interior, and the fact that is has old pictures hanging on the wall. Well, also true of Pasadena... and probably a lot of other city halls around the country.
What it comes down to is sheer beauty and impressiveness (the wow factor), and that clearly puts Pasadena dome and shoulders above the rest.
Pasadena City Hall!
I have lived in Pasadena since 1975, I've watched it grow and change yet it still has that friendly little town vibe. I love this town and have no plans to leave

Pasadena supports Leslie Knope for 2020!
Peoria don't stop believing!
Go Peoria ...don't give up
Pasadena City Hall is an outstanding example of the grace and beauty of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. From the vaulted ceiling of the entranceway, complete with domed bell tower - to the grand and beautiful fountain in the spacious courtyard - to the wonderful lion's-head gargoyles that adorn windows and arches facing both street and courtyard, this building is a testament to prominent American architect Arthur Brown Jr.'s attention to elegant design. But, as beautiful as this building is when viewed by day, it is the evening view, with lights glowing, that is the most stunning and that places it head and shoulders above all other contenders. I am fortunate enough to work in a building across from Pasadena City Hall and have both an amazing view of - as well as many opportunities to visit - this beautiful building. It never ceases to delight.

in response to Alfred:
How is it "fishy" that Pasadena's beautiful City Hall has more and more supporters every day? You may campaign for your hometown favorite, but you must not cast aspersions on the good people of The Dena.

After recently viewing the Peoria City Hall I was astounded by the architecture. Beautiful detail!
Peoria is a lovely city and wonderful people, however architecturally speaking Pasadena City Hall is a much nicer design. I read somewhere that the Pasadena building was influenced by three European structures:
Church of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice
Hotel des Invalides in Paris
St. Paul’s Cathedral in London
After checking these out one can definitely see Pasadena's architectural superiority above the Illinois building..
