Old State House, Parliament building in Hartford, United States
The Old State House features Portland brownstone on its first floor and Flemish bond brick patterns on its upper levels, crowned by a wooden cornice.
From 1796 to 1878, this structure functioned as the central location for Connecticut state government, hosting legislative sessions and significant legal proceedings like the Amistad trial.
The building maintains legislative chambers and the Museum of Natural and Other Curiosities, which presents a collection of natural history displays from 1798.
Located at 800 Main Street, the Old State House opens Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 5 PM, with extended hours until 8 PM on Thursdays.
The building incorporates architectural elements similar to the Liverpool Town Hall of England, yet uses materials exclusively sourced from the United States.
