In the mid-19th century the chime was adopted by the Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster (where Big Ben hangs), whence its fame spread.

In this way, quarter past the hour, for example, can be distinguished by sound alone from half past, a useful advantage when one is not in the line of sight of a tower clock, or when (as is the case at the University of Rochester) there is no visible tower clock at all.
Because of its exceptional nature, the fourth quarter stands apart from the previous three, and the curious closure effected in the third quarter is, in effect, the cadence of the overture before the main act commences on the hour.
In the second quarter, this tonic precedes a dominant one, producing a half-cadential effect, whereas in the fourth quarter, the low bell reinforces the authentic-cadential effect of the concluding motive A of the chime.

 Libraries & Culture, Bookplate Archive
The Library of the British House of Commons was established in 1818 with the appointment of its first librarian, the conversion of a small committee room at the Palace of Westminster into library quarters, and the transfer of parliamentary papers, printed journals and tracts, and a small collection of books from several scattered locations.
Soon outgrowing such limited quarters, the collections were installed in a new library designed by John Soane in 1827 in the Gothic-Revival style.
Photographs taken at or towards the turn of the century show that the overall appearance of the Library, despite differences of detail in the arrangement of furniture, was very similar to the first impression which a visitor to the Library, at a time when the House is not sitting, has today.
