Plans for County Hall were modified so that the Town House could be retained on site.

The Town House is a scheduled monument and a Grade I listed building.

The South Range comprising rooms 1–7 survives in the plan form of flint and stone walls on the grass covered site.

This range was re-excavated and provided with a steel and glass cover building with a stone tiled roof all perched on the original foundations between 1996 and 1999.

Dorset Museum manage events and provide access to the inside of the structure on tours.
