Abstract:		 Situated on Hotel Street, Leicester, and comparatively unaltered following its original construction c.1800 and two, subsequent extensions in 1818-1819 and c.1889 respectively the building currently known as The City Rooms represents an interesting historical palimpsest in terms of both its name(s) and location. The present title, The City Rooms is the third name the building has carried during its two hundred years existence. The initial intention to develop the property as a Hotel failed before its completion and the building became a meeting place that was known as The Assembly Rooms for the first 20 years of its existence. In 1819 the building was acquired by the County Magistrates Office who enhanced its residential facilities to serve as the Judges Lodgings, eventually re-naming the premises The County Rooms. In 1986 the property was transferred to the City of Leicester authorities and again re-named - The City Rooms. And for over 200 years the building has been situated in Hotel Street, a toponym given to the area on the pretext of the original developers intention to build an Hotel there.
