Christ Church

Christ Church is the oldest church building in Boston. After its spire was blown down in a gale in October 1804, the present spire, sixteen feet shorter than the original, was erected under the supervision of Charles Bulfinch. Its peal of bells, the first in America, has rung in peace and war throughout the history of Boston since 1744. The first rector was the Reverend Timothy Cutler, rector of Yale College from 1719 to 1722.
