Paul Revere House

Paul Revere occupied this small frame house on North Square from 1770 to 1800 as his roles as a messenger of the Revolution, patriot engraver, and pioneer industrialist became part of history. Built about 1676 after one of the great fires of Boston, it is the oldest frame dwelling left in the city and a rare example of 17th century domestic architecture. The house also stood through Revere’s growing involvement in and commitment to the cause of Liberty and through three centuries of change in Boston’s North End, one of the city’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods, where evidence of long diversity, activity, and continuity can still be seen around North Square.
