HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Paul Revere House.
Paul Revere’s original seventeenth-century timber house survives in Boston’s North End as a nonprofit historic museum. The restored and furnished dwelling, adjoining education center, courtyard, and small exhibits preserve the domestic setting of Revere’s family during the Revolutionary period.
About Paul Revere House
The original three-story house was built about 1680, making it the oldest house in downtown Boston. It occupied the former site of the Second Church of Boston's parsonage, home to Increase Mather and Cotton Mather, which was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1676. Its first owner was Robert Howard, a wealthy slave merchant.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Paul Revere House
Paul Revere owned this house from 1770 to 1800, although he and his family may have lived elsewhere for periods in the 1780s and 1790s. It is believed that during the Revere occupancy the rear chimney was added (c. 1790) including the kitchen that visitors see in the first room they enter. Immediately adjacent (across the entry courtyard, the original site of the John Barnard House) is the brick Pierce–Hichborn House, built about 1711 as an early Georgian house, and also operated as a nonprofit museum by the Paul Revere Memorial Association.
