Faneuil Hall


Known as America's "Cradle of Liberty" Faneuil Hall was a central location for organized protests against British tyranny prior to the American Revolution. Given to Boston in 1742 by Peter Faneuil and designed by the painter John Smibert, it was enlarged by Charles Bulfinch in 1805. The Ancient and Honerable Artillery Company has been headquartered on the top floor since 1746.
