What is the only part of the original Parliament buildings remaining?

  1. The Senate Chamber

  2. The House of Commons

  3. The Library

  4. The Peace Tower

The correct answer is: The Library

The only part of the original Parliament buildings remaining is the Library, now known as the Library of Parliament. The Library survived a fire that destroyed the original Centre Block in 1916, while the Senate Chamber and House of Commons had to be rebuilt. The Peace Tower was added to the new Centre Block in 1927 and is not part of the original building.
