Description

Maryland State Capitol - Annapolis. "The Maryland State House is the oldest American state house still in use. The Maryland General Assembly convenes here for three months of each year. The Speaker of the House of Delegates and the President of the Senate as well as the Governor and the Lt. Governor also have their offices in the State House.

From 26 November 1783 until 13 August 1784, this building was also the United States Capitol. It continues to be the oldest State House in the United States which is still in legislative use.

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, it is administered by the State House Trust which oversees its care and maintenance. The Trust also has responsibility for the use of the public areas of the State House." A must see if you ever visit Annapolis, MD.
