Built on profits from the liquor trade, the New South Wales State Parliament was originally known as the Rum Hospital. One partition of the State Parliament House was formerly Sydney Hospital and was built between 1811 and 1816. Since 1820, the building has slowly transformed itself since the newly appointed Legislative Council first held their meeting here. The building was extended during the 1970s and 1980s. Currently housing the chambers for both the houses, State Parliament usually sits between mid February and late March and again between mid September and late November. The New South Wales Parliament has a reputation as being one of the rowdiest legislative bodies in the world. Parliamentary memorabilia is on display in the Jubilee Room.
