Poole Civic Centre, Grade II listed municipal building in Poole, England.
The Art Deco structure features a symmetrical frontage with nine bays, including a central section containing a full-height archway and first-floor balcony.
The building opened in 1932 as Poole Borough Council headquarters, replacing the 1761 Guildhall in Market Street due to space limitations.
The council chamber, mayor's parlour, and courtroom represent the primary civic functions that defined local governance throughout the twentieth century.
The building stands empty since 2022, costing £19,000 monthly in maintenance, leading to discussions about converting it into a hotel with housing development.
Foundation stones were laid by both the Lord Mayor of London and the Mayor of Poole on May 16, 1931, marking its municipal significance.
