The Municipal Courts Building, also called the Lake View Building, is a Chicago School skyscraper at 116 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. Built from 1906 to 1907 by Jacob L. Kesner as a temporary home for the Municipal Court of Chicago, it originally rose 12 stories on a lot only 40 feet wide. After the court left in 1911, Kesner added five more stories. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
