The hill on which the State House stands was originally

when it was used as a look-out and after the erection of
the Beacon in 1634-1635, it received the name of Beacon
Hill. The cornerstone of the "Bulfinch" front was laid on
July 4, 1795 and the extension was built in 1889 at a cost
of four million dollars.
