Parliament Buildings, Stormont

The need for a separate parliament building for Northern Ireland arose from the division of Ireland by the Government of Ireland Act of 1920. Initially, Parliament met in two locations, in Belfast City Hall and in the nearby Presbyterian Church in Ireland's Assembly's College. The foundation stone for the new building designed by Sir Arnold Thornley was laid on 19 May 1928. . It was built in a Greek classical style and opened by Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), on 16 November 1932. It is a Grade A listed building.
