Often, the Village of Riverside and Riverside Township, and the various services they provide, get confused. The historic building at 27 Riverside Road, where both the Township and Village offices are located, is called Riverside Town Hall. The building is owned and operated by Riverside Township. The township serves residents of Riverside, Riverside Lawn and parts of North Riverside, Brookfield and Lyons. The township office is located on the first floor of the Town Hall, just across from the village office.
