RHODE ISLAND COLONY / STATE HOUSE



Newport, RI - This building was the Colony House from 1739 - 1776 and the State House from 1776 - 1900. There is a plaque on the front that says."Here the Assembly met and Governors were inagurated".




Side view.



Trivia Alert - Pineapples are a sign of welcome in Colonial times. I suppose this means that all are welcome in this building.

FLAG POLE STATUES

Hartford, CT - Around the Old State House in Hartford are flag poles. On each of these flag poles is a gold statue. I did not find any information on these but they appear to be a part of Connecticut history. I'm not sure if many people even notice them but I think they look cool. Enjoy
