New England - Massachusetts
State House
( Sightseeing / Historic Buildings )
|
Beacon Street
Boston, MA USA |
Charles Bullfinch, one of the principal architects of many of Boston’s historic buildings, completed the State House(Capitol Building), with its golden dome, in the late 1700's. The famous dome has undergone an evolution from its original wood shingles to copper and then to its present gilding in 1861, with the exception of being painted black during the years of World War II. Nearby, another example of his talent, the Harrison Gray Otis House, today serves as the headquarters of SPNEA (Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities). Throughout New England, there are 37 houses and gardens owned by SPNEA, displaying the furnishings and decorative arts of the region’s past. Telephone 617-227-3956 or visit their website at www.spnea.org for information on these historic properties.
