County Hall, Preston, Municipal building in Preston, England
County Hall stands on Fishergate with an asymmetrical frontage of seven bays and features architectural elements of the Queen Anne revival style.
The building, inaugurated on September 14, 1882, replaced the previous county court facilities that operated from the Sessions House on Stanley Street.
The interior contains a 1921 war memorial honoring eighteen county office staff members, including Isobel Addey Tate, who died in World War I.
Lancashire County Council headquarters houses administrative offices, the council chamber, and maintains facilities for the Lancashire Constabulary.
In 2011, County Hall absorbed hundreds of staff members from other locations as part of a consolidation effort to reduce operational costs.
