Paul Revere House

ArchitectureLocal HistoryHistoryOpen until 5:15pmFrom $6Haymarket

Built about 1680 on the site of the Second Church parsonage, this timber-framed North Square dwelling is the oldest remaining building in downtown Boston and the sole survivor of the city's 17th-century row houses. Paul Revere owned it from 1770 to 1800, and about ninety percent of the structure — including original doors, window frames, flooring and raftering — survives; four rooms are furnished to the colonial period. The Paul Revere Memorial Association, which has run the house as a museum since 1908, also owns the c.1711 brick Pierce/Hichborn House next door and the Education and Visitor Center at 5-6 Lathrop Place, opened in 2016 with exhibits, program spaces and the museum shop. A courtyard with period gardens and a bronze bell cast at Revere's own foundry links the buildings.
