The Maine State House in Augusta serves as the state capitol where Governor Janet Mills and the Maine Legislature convene. Completed in 1832—one year after Augusta became the capital—the building was designed by Charles Bulfinch and constructed from Maine granite. The structure draws architectural inspiration from the Massachusetts State House, a connection reflecting Maine's history as part of Massachusetts until achieving statehood in 1820. Executed in Beaux-Arts, Greek Revival, and Federal styles, the building features copper detailing and stands as a significant example of early nineteenth-century American capitol architecture, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
