Designed by Charles Bulfinch, State House was completed in 1798 and served as an inspiration for many more capitol buildings across the country. It hosts free public tours although you are also welcome to visit on your own and enter the House and Senate Chambers' public viewing galleries.

Originally plated in copper to prevent water leakage, the dome was gilded in 23-carat gold in 1872.
