The steeple of the Old North Church was made famous by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "Paul Revere's Ride" about the signals to be put in the steeple that ended up with the first major battle of the Revolutionary War. The Church was built in 1723 and is the oldest active church building in Boston and a National Historic Landmark. My memory of visiting the Church in my youth was entirely different than my more recent visit.
What Church is that a photo of? It's not Christ Church (Old North), Boston?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is the Old North Church in Boston, at least it was the one that I visited and where I went for a tour.
