Doncaster Civic Office

Doncaster Civic Office is a municipal building in Waterdale, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. The structure is the meeting place of Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council.

The first municipal building in the town had its origins in the ruins of the Church of St Mary Magdalene which was built in the Market Place in around 1130. Civic leaders acquired the old church in 1557 and converted the surviving chancel and nave into a town hall: the structure was rebuilt to a neoclassical design by William Lindley in 1786. Lindley's design involved a symmetrical main frontage with nine bays facing onto the Market Place; the central section of three bays featured round headed openings on the ground floor, tall sash windows on the first floor and shorter sash windows on the second floor flanked, on the two upper floors, by Doric order pilasters supporting a pediment. There was a figure depicting Justice at the apex of the pediment and urns on either side of the pediment.
