History
In the late 19th century and early 20th century meetings of Lindsey County Council were held at County Hall, Lincoln Castle.[2]
In 1924 Lindsey County Council commissioned a new building which incorporated the frontage of a house known as Newland House which had been designed by William Hayward and completed in 1824.[3][1] The remainder of the house was demolished and replaced with a substantial structure designed by Scorer and Gamble and completed in 1932.[3] The new structure was built around two quadrangles.[3] The first phase was the northern facade and quadrangle (which incorporated the original facade) and the second phase was the southern facade and quadrangle which was built in a Neo-Georgian style with brick and innovative concrete dressings.[3] The third phase involved inserting an Art Deco staircase into Newland House.[3]
Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1972, the building was transferred to the newly-created Lincolnshire County Council in 1974.[1]
