The State House

The State House is the official building where a state's government conducts its legislative business. It typically houses the state legislature’s chambers—such as the House of Representatives and Senate—where laws are proposed, debated, and passed. The building often serves as a symbol of state authority and democratic governance, and may also include offices for legislators, staff, and ceremonial spaces. Its design and historical significance vary by state, but overall, it’s a central location for shaping state laws and policies in accordance with the people’s representatives.
