Old South Church (Copley Square)

Church

The congregation that met at Old South Meeting House built this Italian Gothic structure in 1873. It continues the tradition of the congregation founded in 1669.

What Happened Here

While this building is post-Revolutionary, the congregation's direct link to the Tea Party debates makes it part of the continuous story of Boston's revolutionary heritage.
