The internal temperature will rise to 125 degrees F. to 130 degrees F. (medium rare) in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. If allowed to rest as long as an hour, the internal temperature will rise even higher. So, pay attention to how long you let the cooked prime rib roast sit.
Before the current State House was completed in 1798, Massachusetts's government house was the Old State House on Court Street. For the building's design, architect Charles Bulfinch made use of two existing buildings in London: William Chambers's Somerset House, and James Wyatt's Pantheon.
The house itself was being built by Benjamin Pierce, Franklins father around the time of Franklin's birth. Benjamin Pierce was a Revolutionary War hero and would become Governor of New Hampshire. The Pierce Homestead would be Franklin Pierce's primary residence until around the time he got married. Benjamin Pierce and other members of the Pierce family are buried just down the road at a local cemetery.
