The Houses of parliament was re-built (jan 1, 1837 – jan 1, 1860)

Description:

St. Stephen's Chapel, in the former palace precincts, was used from 1547 for meetings of the House of Commons. A fire in 1834 destroyed almost the entire palace and led to the building of the present Houses of Parliament (1837–60).
