Last Friday, we went to Massachusetts State House, I am very excited. The Massachusetts State House, also called Massachusetts Statehouse or the “New” State House, is the state capitol and seat of government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is located at Boston. The building houses the Massachusetts General Court and the offices of the Governor of Massachusetts. When I entered the Massachusetts State House, I think there is a kind of very dignified feelings. We entered a very beautiful staff for we explained some relevant knowledge and introduction. Through her explanation I know some about the history of the Massachusetts State House. But I like the second floor under the dome is decorated by murals painted by artist Edward Brodney. In second floor you can see the original wood dome, which leaked, was covered with copper. The dome was first painted gray and then light yellow before being gilded with gold leaf in 1874. The dome is topped with a pine cone, symbolizing both the importance of Boston’s lumber industry in the early colonial days and of the state of Maine, which was a district of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts when the Bulfinch section of the building was completed. Although the weather is very hot last Friday, but everybody have enthusiasm to visit the Massachusetts State House.
