Located on Beacon Street at the head of Park Street,
The hill on which the State House stands was originally
called Tremount, later this was changed to Sentry Hill
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.
