Housing the Northern Ireland Assembly seat, Parliament Buildings were constructed in the year 1921. Officially inaugurated by the former Prince of Wales in 1932, the buildings were built to accommodate Northern Ireland's newly elected government. In the decades gone by, Parliament Buildings have rarely been remodeled. During World War II, the structure's Portland stone had been cloaked with a paint created with cow manure and bitumen which was removable. However, it proved to be quite a challenging task as it could not be completely removed even after many years. Even today, the buildings' exterior bears traces of the paint color. In the year 2005, Great Hall inside Parliament Buildings hosted the funeral mass of George Best, an iconic erstwhile Manchester United winger.
