Still an active Episcopalian church, Old North Church is possibly the oldest religious structure in Boston, dating back to 1723. It occupies a special place in American history.

Questa struttura secolare all'italiana con porte in bronzo e grandi scalinate in marmo ospita la Boston Public Library, la prima biblioteca municipale gratuita della nazione. Il primo edificio della biblioteca su Mason Street era un'ex scuola, aperta nel 1854. Dopo essere stati autorizzati, gli allora commissari della biblioteca localizzarono un nuovo edificio per la biblioteca a Boylston Street. Così, la sede di Copley Square divenne sede della biblioteca nel 1895. Con l'ampliamento della sede di Copley Square nel 1972, fu costruito l'edificio McKim. In questo storico monumento nazionale, potrete trovare collezioni di mappe e stampe, libri e manoscritti rari e raffinate serie murali. La Boston Public Library offre tour giornalieri che evidenziano i famosi edifici della biblioteca centrale e le opere d'arte di alcuni prolifici artisti del passato.
