It is located at Boston in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. The building houses the Massachusetts General Court (state legislature) and the offices of the Governor of Massachusetts.
Before the current State House was completed in 1798, Massachusetts' government sat in the Old State House on Court Street.
The original wood dome, which leaked, was covered with copper in 1802. The dome was first painted gray and then light yellow before being gilded with gold leaf in 1874.
