State House Description
The State House of Massachusetts was built on Beacon Hill in 1798. The middle section, with a high gilded dome, was designed by Charles Bulfinch, who built the Capitol in Washington DC. On the terrace in front of the buildings are statues of two New England statesmen, Daniel Webster (1782-1852) and Horace Mann (1796-1859). On the first floor are the Doric Hall, which is used for civic occasions, the Hall of Flags (with flags and historical paintings) and the Great Hall (1990). On the second floor are the Governor's offices, the Senate Chamber, the Senate Reception Room and the Chamber of the House of Representatives. In the north wing is the State Library.
