Catch All.The Old State House is a historic building in Boston, at the intersection of Washington and State Streets. Built in 1713, it was the seat of the Massachusetts legislature until 1798. One of the landmarks on Boston's Freedom Trail, it is the oldest surviving public building in Boston, and acts as a history museum operated by the Bostonian Society.

Fantastic capture of the quintessential image of Boston...perfect detail and clarity! Great job, Bobby! #10824324Chris Ebben August 29, 2013
What a great scene & how lucky they are to have saved a few old buildings. Our town has been trying to start an Oyster & Timber museum but so far hasn't had much luck. We also have no old buildings to use but they are still trying to obtain a site!! Well taken=^..^= #10824335Val Feldman August 29, 2013
Excellent vertical composition, Bobby - the Old State House is dwarfed by those new modern buildings - wonderful contrast between the old and the new, great color, superb depth and clarity...and thanks for the excellent information...I learned something new!
