The Old State House is two minutes from Pi Alley Garage. Walk out of the pedestrian exit, turn north on Washington Street, and the brick building with the lion and unicorn on its gable is at the next corner, where Washington meets State Street. The Boston Massacre site is marked in the intersection just below its balcony. No garage in downtown Boston is closer.
Built in 1713, it is the oldest surviving public building in Boston and was the seat of colonial government. The Boston Massacre took place outside it on March 5, 1770, and the Declaration of Independence was first read to Bostonians from its balcony on July 18, 1776. Today it is a museum on the Freedom Trail, with State Street station (Orange and Blue Lines) in the basement.
Old State House parking rates
Pi Alley's weekday rate is a flat rate for anything from an hour and a half to twelve hours, so a quick museum visit and a full day on the Freedom Trail cost the same. After 5pm on weekdays and all weekend, up to ten hours is covered by the evening and weekend rate. Short stays under an hour and a half are priced separately on the daily rates page.
