Fluying ✅Ottobre 9, 2017The dome was painted gray during WWII to keep it dark during black outs, then re-gilded with 23k gold in 1997. The gold leaf is so thin that if rolled together, would be about the size of a pineapple- Fluying ✅Ottobre 9, 2017The tours are given weekdays year-round from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm, and are free of charge. The building is open from 8:45 am to 5 pm. The Massachusetts State House is closed on weekends and holidays.

One of Boston's most enduring nicknames, "The Hub of the Universe," is from a remark by Oliver Wendell Holmes in which he states that the "Boston State-House is the Hub of the Solar System."
