The Paul Revere House was the colonial home of American patriot Paul Revere during the time of the American Revolution. On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith Paul Revere left his small wooden home in Boston's North End and set out on a journey that would make him into a legend.

Today that home is still standing at 19 North Square and has become a national historic landmark. It is downtown Boston's oldest building and one of the few remaining from an early era in the history of colonial America. The home was built about 1680 on the site of the former parsonage of the Second Church of Boston. Increase Mather, the Minister of the Second Church, and his family (including his son, Cotton Mather) occupied this parsonage from 1670 until it was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1676.

A large and fashionable new home was built at the same location about four years later. Paul Revere owned the home from 1770 to 1800, although he and his family may not have lived here in some periods in the 1780s and 90s. After Revere sold the home in 1800, it soon became a tenement, and the ground floor was remodeled for use as shops, including at various times a candy store, cigar factory, bank and vegetable and fruit business.

In 1902, Paul Revere's great-grandson, John P. Reynolds Jr. purchased the building to ensure that it would not be demolished. The first floor is accessible.

The second floor is not accessible. So its 1/2 price. However they show you what is upstairs.

Worth the trip! There isnt an Accessible bathroom of any kind. The first floor is accessible. The second is not. So its 1/2 price. However they show you what is upstairs. Worth the trip! There isnt an Accessible bathroom of any kind.
