County Hall, Grade II listed building in Cambridge, England

The County Hall features a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays, tall Ionic columns, and round-headed windows along its neoclassical facade.

Originally constructed in 1913 under architect Herbert Henry Dunn, the building served as the headquarters for Cambridgeshire County Council until 1933.

The structure houses a memorial dedicated to council staff members who lost their lives during World War I, preserving their memory for future generations.

Christ's College converted the building into student accommodation, adding modern facilities including a smoked-glass drum staircase and the Plumb Auditorium lecture theater.

The entablature above the main entrance displays 'County Hall 1913' in stone, marking the year of completion for this municipal structure.
