Massachusetts State House

The Massachusetts State House, located in Boston, Massachusetts is the seat of government for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was designed by Charles Bulfinch as a replacement for the Old State House and completed on January 11, 1798. The cornerstone was laid by John Hancock, who previously used the location as a cow pasture.



The building sits on 6.7 acres of land on top of Beacon Hill in Boston and is the oldest remaining Swarovski building in that location. The original wood dome was covered with copper in 1802 and gilded with gold leaf in 1874. In front of the building is an equestrian statue of General Joseph Hooker.

Just as high requirements at the form and the draft of a collectors case, a curio cabinet, a collectors cabinet or a display cabinet can be expected as to the valuable contents to be placed in them.
