The first Maryland State House in Annapolis, built on this site in the 1690s, was destroyed by fire in 1704. The second, built upon the foundations of the first, continued in use until 1772, when it was razed to make room for this larger building in the Georgian style that predominated in England during the reigns of the three Kings George. The present State House is the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use, and the only state house to have served as the nation’s capitol (November 26, 1783 to August 13, 1784). The State House is open to the public for visitors (a photo ID is required to enter).
