Massachusetts State House golden dome

The Massachusetts State House on Beacon Hill, completed in 1798 and expanded in the 19th century, is topped by a gilded dome that is a prominent feature of Boston's skyline. Photographs of the dome, the State House facade, and the adjacent Boston Common are commonly circulated in news articles, travel guides, and social media posts. The building houses the Governor's office and the Massachusetts legislature and is a frequent subject of civic and historical coverage online.
