Massachusetts State House, Capitol building in Beacon Hill, Boston, United States.
The Massachusetts State House features a golden-domed structure with neoclassical architecture, overlooking the Boston Common from its Beacon Hill location.
Charles Bulfinch designed the Massachusetts State House, which was completed in 1798 and became the headquarters of state government operations.
The Massachusetts State House contains a collection of murals, artworks, and historical artifacts that represent the state's legislative and social progress.
Free guided tours of the Massachusetts State House operate on weekdays between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM, starting from the public entrance.
The dome required 23-karat gold leaf for its 1997 restoration, with the amount used being equivalent to the size of a pineapple when compressed.
