The Maine State House is the state capitol of the State of Maine. Construction on the Classical Revival building began in 1829 and was completed in 1832, one year after Augusta became the capital of the state. Built using Maine granite, the State House was based on the design of the Massachusetts State House (Maine was formerly part of Massachusetts, and became a separate state in 1820). The building's original architect was Charles Bulfinch of Boston.
The architectural firm Brigham & Spofford designed an 1890-91 addition to the structure, and G. Henri Desmond designed a 1910 addition. On the east side of the State House, across State Street, is the 20-acre Capitol Park, part of the city's original land grant to the state for the capitol complex. It includes landscape features designed by the landscape architectural firm of the Olmsted Brothers (John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.).
The property was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It also contributes to the Capitol Complex Historic District, which was listed in 2001.
Augusta is a quaint small city located on the Kennebec River in the south-central part of Maine. With roughly 19,000 inhabitants, it is the third smallest state capital in the United States, after Pierre and Montpelier. It also serves as the seat of Kennebec County.
The park was once known as the "Gem of the Southern Mines." Between the 1850s and 1870s over one billion dollars in gold (at today's value) was mined in the area. For a time, Columbia was the second largest city in California.
Unlike many other settlements that disappeared due to fire, vandalism and time, Columbia survived. It was never completely deserted. In 1945 the State Legislature made the site a State Historic Park in order to preserve a typical Gold Rush town, an example of one of the most colorful eras in American history.

The Lake Michigan Beach House meets national register criterion A as one of the largest building products of federal Depression-relief activities in Michigan's state parks during the 1930s, having been designed by a National Park Service architect, Ralph B. Herrick, working in Lansing, and built as part of a program of park developments undertaken by Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers at Ludington State Park. The beach house meets criterion C as a fine example of Arts-and-Crafts-inspired design in the Michigan state parks and as a unique structure among Michigan state park structures built then or throughout the state park system's history for its use of recycled brick in the pressed mortar style of construction with the mortar joints left untrowelled and unstruck.
