On
the northern side of the Parliament Building is the Parliamentary
Library.
Finished
in 1899, the library is the oldest of the buildings in the Parliamentary
precinct.
Within
its walls there are more than 500,000 books related to the laws,
legislation and government of New Zealand.
Designed
in Gothic revival style the library's stone construction made it
fire proof. An extra precaution - an expensive iron fire door -
saved the building in the 1907 fire that destroyed the other wooden
Parliamentary buildings.
