Said to be one of the first buildings in the French Second Empire architectural styles, Boston's Old Hall was used as a city council for several years in the 1800s. The hall was built in 1862 and is featured on the National Register of Historic Places. It is now home to several business organizations and commercial spaces.
The Third Baptist Church built the Charles Street Meeting House in 1807 following the instructions and designs of Asher Benjamin. The meeting house or church is famous for being one of the pioneers to host various anti-slavery speeches. Some of the notable speakers who have presented their case here are Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips and Harriet Tubman to name a few. The meeting house is worth visiting for the memories and the treasures it holds.
