History
The site was previously occupied by the old county gaol which was built in the late 18th century.[1] The current building was commissioned as the headquarters of Westmeath County Council and was completed in 1913.[2] It was opened by Douglas Hyde, the future first President of Ireland and known as "County Hall".[3] It became a performing arts centre in 1998[4] and subsequently benefited from concerts by local celebrities such as Joe Dolan.[3]
