Faneuil Hall, the brick market and meeting house in the heart of Boston, is the subject of this view, which dates to about 1936. Built in 1742 with funds from merchant Peter Faneuil, the hall was later enlarged, and its gilded grasshopper weathervane has long been a city landmark. Because it served as a site for town meetings, it earned the nickname "the Cradle of Liberty" during the years leading up to the American Revolution. The record is thin, so the picture's exact vantage point and photographer are not documented here.
