The Massachusetts State House crowns Beacon Hill with its iconic gold dome, designed by Charles Bulfinch and completed in 1798. It serves as the seat of the Massachusetts General Court (state legislature) and the governor's office.
Completed in 1798 on John Hancock's former cow pasture, Bulfinch's Federal-style design became the prototype for state capitols across America, including the U.S. Capitol. The building has been expanded multiple times but the original Bulfinch front remains.
