County Hall, Newport, Isle of Wight, Government building in Newport, Isle of Wight, England
County Hall features a symmetrical facade with nine bays facing High Street, incorporating stone balconies and a tall central window connecting multiple floors.
The construction of County Hall was completed in 1938 by architects Gutteridge and Gutteridge, replacing the former Swan Hotel that served as council offices.
The entrance displays sculptural figures representing Public Service and Knowledge, created by artist V. Gilles under designs from Sheffield College of Arts.
The building continues to function as the headquarters of the Isle of Wight Council and includes a Citizens Advice center established in 2018.
The 1969 eastern extension replaced an 18th-century residence called Hazards and incorporates a distinctive blue and white checkerboard pattern.
