The section on the right was built as the Provincial Buildings in 1857. When central government was moved to Wellington it became Parliament Buildings. The building was also used for Supreme Court sessions at one time. It was replaced by the General Assembly Library in 1899. The wooden building on the left was built in 1873, and was destroyed by fire in 1907. (Information taken from back of file print).
