Boston’s oldest commercial building was home to the publisher of Walden, The Scarlet Letter, and The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.

Built in 1713, Boston’s oldest surviving public building served as the center of civic, political, and business life.
On March 5, 1770, tensions exploded in the street between Bostonians and British Redcoats, which resulted in the killing of five civilians.
