It was early in the morning, I was not yet caffeinated. I guess I should have Googled for specifics or stated " ... during the War of 1812".

It was a draw surely?
Although I think the Canadians count it as a victory.

real Palace of Westminster.
Do you mean original?

It was quite badly damaged during the War.
