North Square

In North Square lived Paul Revere and his wife Rachel Revere, for whom this overlook is named. Major Pitcairn of the soldiery occupying Boston in 1775, Governor Thomas Hutchinson, Sir Harry Frankland, and William Clark also lived here. Paul Revere gave the alarm that British troops were marching to Concord to seize Patriot stores. Many men of North Square and its neighborhood joined the Boston Tea Party at Griffin’s Wharf and threw the tea overboard.
