House of Assembly - East side of the parade, Spanish Town

One of the historic structures surrounding the park is the House of Assembly. The house was constructed in 1762 and used to be the meeting house of the Assembly and the Supreme Court. When Kingston became the capital of Jamaica, the Assembly ceased to meet here and met in the new capital of Kingston instead. Nowadays the building is home to the St. Catherine Parish Council.
