Construïda cap al 1680 a l'antic emplaçament de la rectoria de la Second Church, aquesta residència amb entramat de fusta situada a North Square és l'edifici més antic que es conserva al centre de Boston i l'únic testimoni supervivent de les cases adossades del segle XVII a la ciutat. Paul Revere en va ser el propietari entre 1770 i 1800, i encara se'n conserva prop del noranta per cent de l'estructura original, incloses portes, marcs de finestres, terres i bigues de la coberta; quatre de les estances estan moblades i ambientades en l'època colonial. La Paul Revere Memorial Association, que gestiona la casa com a museu des del 1908, també és propietària de la contigua Pierce/Hichborn House, feta de maó cap al 1711, i de l'Education and Visitor Center a 5-6 Lathrop Place, inaugurat el 2016 amb espais expositius, aules d'activitats i la botiga del museu. Un pati amb jardins d'època i una campana de bronze fosa a la mateixa foneria de Revere connecta els edificis.
