Old State House, Boston Photos |
Old State House (1713) was the seat of British government in the American colonies until the Revolution. In 1770, the square outside the building was the site of the Boston Massacre. In 1776, two weeks after the July 4, the Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony. The crowds then toppled the lion & unicorn. The ones on the building today are replicas. |
