History
The original People's Palace was built on the site of what is now the Queens' Building, and was opened in 1887. It was destroyed by a fire in 1931, and a new People's Palace on the current site, immediately adjacent to the former. It was opened by King George VI on 13 February 1937, in what was his first public engagement as King.[1]
The People's Palace was acquired by Queen Mary College in 1954.
