Massachusetts State House


The Massachusetts State House, also known as the Massachusetts Statehouse or the "New" State House, is the state capitol and house of government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, located in the Beacon Hill/Downtown〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Neighborhoods: Downtown )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Boston Redevelopment Authority )〕 neighborhood of Boston. The building houses the Massachusetts General Court (state legislature) and the offices of the Governor of Massachusetts. The building, designed by noted architect Charles Bulfinch, was completed in 1798, and has repeatedly been enlarged since. It is considered a masterpiece of Federal architecture and among Bulfinch's finest works, and was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architectural significance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NHL nomination for Massachusetts State House )
==Building==
The building is situated on 6.7 acres (27,000 m²) of land on top of Beacon Hill in Boston, opposite the Boston Common on Beacon Street. It was built on land once owned by John Hancock, Massachusetts's first elected governor.
Before the current State House was completed in 1798, Massachusetts's government house was the Old State House on Court Street. For the building's design, architect Charles Bulfinch made use of two existing buildings in London: William Chambers's Somerset House,〔Shand-Tucci, Douglass. ''Built in Boston: City and Suburb, 1800-2000'', p. 6. University of Massachusetts Press, Amherst, 1999. ISBN 1-55849-201-1.〕 and James Wyatt's Pantheon.〔Whiffen, Marcus, and Koeper, Frederick. ''American Architecture, 1607-1976''. Routledge (1981), p. 110. ISBN 0-7100-0813-9.〕
A major expansion of the original building was completed in 1895.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Guide to the Massachusetts State House )〕 The architect for the annex was Bostonian Charles Brigham.
In 1917 the east and west wings, designed by architects Sturgis, Chapman & Andrews, were completed.〔(Exterior Tour )〕
