last week, we visit to the massachusetts state house, which is an amazing place. when I saw this building, I was very curious becouse of its architectural type. The building's color used yellow and red, it looks like chinese style. when we go into the house, we saw a model house. The guide told us the model of the 1798 State House, or Bulfinch Front, is an accurate representation, lacking only the chimneys and side entrances which were removed in the mid-1880s. the major difference between the model and the building at that time is the color of the dome. Paul Revere& Sons coppered the dome in 1802 to prevent water leakage. Some seventy years later the dome was gilded with 23carat gold leaf for the first time.
the most beautiful place is the Legislative Branch. The legislature was established in 1644. It has two branches the 40 member Senate and the 160 member house of representatives. All Massachusetts citizens have the right of free petition and may have bills introduced by a legislator. Bills receive a public hearing and a committee recommendation.
It was a very meaningful day.
