The Civic Centre (formerly Dagenham Town Hall) is a Grade II listed building designed in the early 1930s by E Berry Webber in the art deco style.The building was originally intended to be 1 of 3 buildings, together with a fire station and library. Although the fire station was built to the right of the building, the library never came to fruition.Building began in 1936 and the Hall was formally opened in 1937. The building has an impressive front entrance and portico, some excellent art deco ceilings, and champagne coloured botticino marble stairs and foyer.The Council Chamber is walnut panelled with acoustic art deco ceilings.
