Photographer: Photochrom postcard by the Detroit Photographic Company
Taken: 1900
Caption: King's Chapel, Boston
Additional Description: "...After difficult negotiations with Boston officials, the congregation acquired more land on the east side of its lot. Peter Harrison of Newport designed the new, larger building and construction began in 1749. The stone building, made of Quincy granite, was opened in 1754. A bell that was forged in England was hung in 1772. It cracked in 1814 and was recast by Paul Revere and rehung in 1816. Revere is quoted as saying it was "the sweetest bell I ever made." It still rings every Sunday morning to summon parishioners to service." - Kings-Chapel.org, A Brief History of King's Chapel
