A Photo a Week Challenge: Three Angles
From the back, Boston Statehouse – Built 1795–1798
From the front, Boston statehouse
Closer
Boston’s statehouse’s resemblance to the U.S. Capital is not accidental. The Capital’s cornerstone was laid by George Washington on September 18, 1793. The building was completed in 1800. Both buildings used the same architect (Charles Bulfinch) and were built during the same decade.

There’s a place in Toronto that looks exactly like the Boston Statehouse from the back.

If it was built around the same time, it was probably built by the same group of architects.
