The site where the legislative buildings are situated was occupied by St Mary's Church, which was built in the [[1860]]'s. A new church was built at the corner of Burger Street and Commercial Road, and opened in [[1884]]. The old building was demolished in [[1887]] to provide space for the legislative complex. The foundation stone of the new legislative building was laid on 21 June 1887, to commemorate [[Queen Victoria]]'s [[Golden Jubilee]]. The building was completed two years later. On 25 April [[1889]], the Governor of Natal, Sir Arthur Havelock, opened the first Legislative Council session in the new building.

*Almopos - [[Aridaia]]

When governance was granted to Natal in [[1893]], the new Legislative Assembly took over the chamber that was used by the Legislative Council since 1889. Further extensions to the parliamentary building were made. The building was unoccupied until [[1902]] when it was used without being officially opened, due to the fact that the country was engulfed in the [[Boer War|Anglo-Boer war]]. The war also affected the Legislative Assembly, which had to move the venue of its sittings when the chamber was used as a military hospital.
