Boston's Old City Hall

Let the Russkie gal tell 'ya. We were more into the Heinz-57 pickle pins. Brought a ton home for the friends (not Quakers or Shakers). Remember Sybil Ludington? That was the gal who passed it on in Danbury, CT at the library. The vibrations from bell ringing are still circling the universe. It is finite.

While walking the Freedom Trial, you'll no doubt pass Boston's Old City Hall. This towering building was constructed around 1865, and features a statue of Benjamin Franklin out front. The outside is shaded by tall trees and very photogenic. History buffs will definitely want to stop and take out their cameras, read the inscriptions on the statues, and enjoy the moment.

Boston's Old City Hall is a historical gem nestled in the heart of the city, blending architectural grandeur with a rich tapestry of civic history. As a visitor stepping into its midst, you're immediately struck by the imposing Victorian Gothic facade, with its ornate details and pointed arches that evoke a sense of bygone elegance. For history enthusiasts or those simply captivated by beautiful architecture, a visit to Boston's Old City Hall is a must. The building stands not only as a monument to Boston's rich heritage but also as a vibrant reminder of the city's enduring spirit.

Historical & Epic building with a nice statue of Benjamin Franklin. This is a really nice location and must see site. You can walk obviously to all the place on the Boston Freedom Trail. Th is stop number 6 and is well worth it!

The outside is still has the original stonework, statues and courtyard. Unfortunately the inside is being renovated and losing much of it's original character. A little sad.

The whole white housing with the statue of Franklin and Donkey/Elephant steps. Strongly recommend visitors to take a look here!! In front of this City Hall, you will find Latin School Mark on the street.

Nice historical building with many statues

The Old City Hall of Boston has been partially converted to a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I cannot think of a worse thing to repurpose an old building as. There are views of the cemetery where Paul Revere is interned from the bar. It is clearly a place put here to suck in the tourists. And it worked. They got me. I was hungry and went right in. I could have found a local bar or something. But here is the Old Courthouse and a Chain Restaurant. No Bueno!
