Three state houses have occupied State Circle in Annapolis. The first was built soon after Annapolis became the capital in 1695; it burned in 1704. The second was completed by 1709, but within 60 years the government had outgrown it, and the decision was made to raze the building. Charles Wallace undertook the work of the third state house when no one else submitted "plans and estimates" for the project.
