County Buildings and Judges House
County Buildings and Judges House, Victorian art gallery and Grade II* listed county hall in Stafford, England
The County Buildings feature fifteen bays along Martin Street, with a central section containing seven bays leading to an architrave-adorned doorway.
Following the Local Government Act 1888, the County Buildings were constructed in 1895 to serve as offices for the newly formed Staffordshire County Council.
The council chamber displays intricate plasterwork by Frederick Schenck and sculptured figures by William Aumonier, representing local governmental artistic elements.
The facility maintains civic rooms for official meetings, weddings, and civil partnerships, while portions have been converted into private residences called Martin Street Mansions.
The building combines Baroque revival architecture with asymmetrical design elements, including a venetian window and mullioned windows divided by Ionic order columns.
