County Hall, Grade I listed building in Wakefield, England.
Located at Bond Street and Cliff Parade, County Hall exhibits Gothic architecture with detailed stonework and a series of decorated panels across its facade.
Constructed between 1894 and 1898, the building served as headquarters for West Riding County Council until 1974, then West Yorkshire County Council until 1986.
The interior decorations by Henry Charles Fehr include symbolic elements representing justice, industry, peace, and plenty throughout the ceremonial spaces.
The Council Chamber sits on an upper level of the building, specifically positioned to reduce interference from street noise during important meetings.
The 1912-1915 extensions by architect George Crook maintained the original Gothic style while expanding the building's capacity for administrative functions.
