York House, also known as Parliament House, was a landmark in St. George's and the home of the Parliament of Grenada from the 19th century until it was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004.[1] It was replaced by the New Parliament Building in 2010.[2]

History

The building was built in the 1770s and was named after the Duke of York who visited Grenada in the eighteenth century.[3][4]

Queen Elizabeth II visited the Parliament in 1985.[5]
