It is a Grade II listed building.[1] HistoryThe building, which was built as a residential property in 1849, was converted in the late 19th century for use as the headquarters of the Dorsetshire Rifle Volunteers.[1] This unit evolved to become the 1st Volunteer Battalion, The Dorsetshire Regiment in 1887 and the 4th Battalion, The Dorsetshire Regiment in 1908.[2] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to India.[3][4] After the Territorial Army infantry presence in Dorchester was reduced to a single company, C Company (Dorset), Wessex Volunteers,[2] at the newly-built Poundbury Road Territorial Army Centre, in 1967,[5] the High West Street drill hall was decommissioned and subsequently converted for commercial use.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101218886-56-and-57-high-west-street-dorchester#.WbKwOMiGMdU|title=56 and 57, High West Street|publisher=British listed buildings|accessdate=8 September 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/volmil-england/vinf-so/do-4.htm|title=The Dorset Territorials|publisher=Regiments.org|accessdate=8 September 2017|deadurl=bot: unknown|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070415081822/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/volmil-england/vinf-so/do-4.htm|archivedate=15 April 2007|df=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.1914-1918.net/dorsets.htm |title=The Dorsetshire Regiment |publisher=The Long, Long Trail|date= |accessdate=28 December 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.drillhalls.org/Counties/Dorset/TownDorchester.htm|title=Dorchester|publisher=The Drill Hall Project|accessdate=8 September 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.viewnews.co.uk/mayors-pride-dorchesters-rifles/|title=Mayor’s pride in Dorchester’s Rifles|date=25 April 2017|publisher=View News|accessdate=8 September 2017}} 2 : Drill halls in England|Buildings and structures in Dorchester, Dorset |
