The oldest surviving public building in the City of Boston is the Old State House, a history structure originally built in 1713. The Boston architects behind the Old State House are unknown, but the building was altered, restored, and renovated by three separate architects during its lifetime; Isaiah Rogers, George Albert Clough, and Goody, Clancy and Associates.The Old State House is built in the Georgian style, and is considered a U.S. National Historic Landmark, and is also listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. On March 5, 1770, the Old State House provided the backdrop for the clash between British soldiers and colonists known as the Boston Massacre. The building's balcony also served as the site where the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to the citizens of Boston in 1776. This building holds a lot of history for Boston and, if you get a chance, you should absolutely visit and check it out for yourself.
