Maryland State House

Maryland

The Maryland State House, located in Annapolis, is the oldest U.S. state capitol still in continuous legislative use, dating back to 1772. A notable feature of this structure is its large wooden dome, which was constructed without nails, along with the iconic bronze statue of Lady Justice that crowns it. The building holds a significant place in U.S. history, as it hosted the Continental Congress in 1783–84 and was the site where the Treaty of Paris was ratified, marking the official end of the Revolutionary War. The Maryland State House continues to serve as the home of the General Assembly of Maryland, the state's legislative body.
