County Hall, Dorchester, Municipal building in Dorchester, England
The County Hall stands at Colliton Park with a symmetrical frontage of seventeen bays and columns flanking the central entrance.
The foundation stone was placed by the Earl of Shaftesbury in 1938, but construction delays during World War II postponed completion until 1955.
The building exhibits notable artworks, including Elizabeth Thompson's painting depicting the Queen's Own Dorset Yeomanry's victory in Egypt during World War I.
Current headquarters of Dorset Council, the building maintains administrative functions and hosts regular public meetings at Colliton Park, Dorchester.
A memorial dedicated to soldiers of the 2nd Battalion Dorset Regiment who fell at the Battle of Kohima stands outside the building since 2015.
