The Maryland State House in Annapolis is the oldest U.S. legislative building still in active use for legislative purposes. Construction began in 1772 and took until 1797 to complete. Its striking feature is its large wooden dome—built entirely without nails. The U.S. Congress of the Confederation met here between 1783 and 1784. Today, the building is located on the grounds of Fort Williams Park and is managed by the State House Trust.
