Annapolis - Maryland State House

The Maryland State House is the oldest state house still in legislative use. The building began in 1772 and was completed 7 years later. The wooden dome of the State House was completed in 1794, making it the oldest and largest wooden dome of its kind in the United States.

The interior of the original portion of the Maryland State House is constructed of wood and plaster. The newer section, added between 1902 and 1906, features Italian marble walls and columns.
