County Hall, Grade II listed building in Cambridge, England
County Hall is a Grade II listed building in Cambridge featuring a symmetrical facade with seven bays, tall Ionic columns, and round-headed windows in the neoclassical style. The structure was later converted into student accommodation by Christ's College, which added modern facilities such as a smoked-glass staircase and the Plumb Auditorium.
The building was constructed in 1913 by architect Herbert Henry Dunn and served as headquarters for Cambridgeshire County Council until 1933. The council then vacated the premises as needs shifted and the building took on a different role.
The building houses a memorial to council staff members who died in World War I. This tribute preserves their memory within the structure.
The building is not generally open to the public as it serves as student housing for the college. The exterior can be viewed from the street to appreciate its architectural features and classical design.
Stone lettering reading 'County Hall 1913' is carved above the main entrance, marking the year of construction. This inscription preserves the exact moment when the municipal building came into being.
