The walls of the House of Lords and the Painted Chamber escaped destruction and temporary buildings were erected to enable Parliament to continue sitting, from February 1835. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,6813-679124,00.html The Library Westminster Collection has a volume of measured drawings of the Star Chamber made in Dec 1835 and Jan 1836, plans of the temporary Houses of Parliament, 1835, 1843, 1845-1847 and 1853, showing how the building was being used during reconstruction. http://www.parliament.uk/parliamentary_publications_and_archives/parliamentary_archives/archives___the_palace_of_westminster.cfm">www.parliament.uk Aug 07 04, 1:09 PM
