Can you believe that the land for the State House was originally a cow pasture? This was many years ago. Today, the State House is one of Boston's famous attractions and the oldest building on Beacon Hill. Designed by Charles Bulfinch, the State House was completed on January 11, 1798. The golden dome is made of copper by Paul Revere to prevent leaks.
