This 1955 photograph shows the building in Parliament grounds originally built as Government House. After the Parliament House fire of 1907, this building housed Parliament, and the governor lived at Palmerston North until the new (present) Government House was ready. Later it housed the parliamentary restaurant, Bellamy's, until it was demolished in November 1969 to make way for the Beehive.
