The kitchen hearth here, with kettles hung on iron cranes above the coals, is where daily cooking for the Revere household took place. Paul Revere bought the North End house in 1770, and the timber-framed building dates to about 1680, which makes it one of the oldest surviving structures in downtown Boston. Open hearths like this one handled most cooking and heating until cast-iron stoves spread in the nineteenth century, so the stove shown beside the fireplace hints at how the room changed over time. The house is now part of Boston National Historical Park.
