Mechanic's Hall was in the Saloon Building
It seems the Mechanic's Hall, was simply a meeting space within the Saloon Building that was used by various groups at different times; most notably the Universalist Church in the early years.
"The first attempt to organize a Universalist Church in Chicago was made in 1836. In that year Reverend William Queal preached to a small congregation, and on the 11th of June organized the society which consisted of N.H. Bolles, E.E. Hunter, A.N. Marble, Chester Tupper, S.G. Trowbridge and S.C. Bennett, who worshiped for a number of years in Mechanic's Hall, in the Saloon Building."
