Port Thomas Museum

The Port Thomas Museum is a historic building in central Port Thomas. It was previously the Quotro Parliament from its construction until September 2011. It is still commonly referred to as the First Parliament. It is amongst the oldest buildings on the server and a landmark of the old quarter of Port Thomas.
== History ==
=== Quotro Parliament ===
The building was constructed in February 2011 and was one of the first 20 building in Port Thomas. It stands prominently at the west end of High Street - the first street laid on the server. It was well finished for its time - it had a smooth stone finish, red carpet and a stair roof. The ground floor housed a debating chamber, lobby and offices. The first storey held the office of the Prime Minister of Quotro and the second storey housed ministerial offices. Opposition offices were located in the basement.
Although a large building at the time of its construction, it quickly became apparent that it was inadequate for its intended function and government functions were moved to the newly built Second Parliament in September 2011.
=== Intermediate Years ===
After being vacated the building sat vacant for many years. In late 2011 the building was sold to Jacin and was left undeveloped. It later came into possession of ThatIsPeter and was designated for development into a museum, but sat idle for longer still.
=== Museum ===
The building eventually reopened its doors as Port Thomas Museum. The ground floor was remodelled to be more open for exhibits. The rest of the building, however, remains largely original and is not in use. There are plans to expand the museum space to the first storey.
