Commonly known simply as the Treasury Building, this structure was built in the 1920s under the reign of King George V. It housed the Belize National Assembly on its second floor prior to the removal of the capital to Belmopan. It has also housed the Council Chamber and the Colonial Secretary's Office for British Honduras.

The predecessor to this structure was made of wood, and, like the old Supreme Court next door, was destroyed by fire in 1918.

Belize City is the largest city in Belize. It was once the capital of the former Crown colony of British Honduras (as Belize was known from 1763 to 1964) until the government was moved to the new capital of Belmopan in 1970. As of the 2010 census, Belize City has a population of 61,461 people. The small city is situated at the mouth of Haulover Creek, which is a distributary of the Belize River that empties directly into the Caribbean Sea about five miles north. The city is the country's principal port and its financial and industrial hub. It is even home to a number of the national embassies representing the various countries that have relations with Belize.

The city was almost entirely destroyed in October 1961 when Hurricane Hattie swept ashore. The community has since rebuilt in subsequent decades, but remains vulnerable to sea level rise and hurricanes.
