The steeple drawings focus on the first landing, the stage where the tower's structure steps up toward the spire, of a building that has anchored Boston's Washington Street since the 1720s. Old South Meeting House was completed in 1729 as a Congregational meetinghouse, and its most famous moment came in December 1773, when a crowd gathered there to protest the tea tax before the Boston Tea Party. Architectural plans like this one show how the congregation and later builders shaped the tower, and they are useful for understanding how a working church became a landmark. Today the site is part of Boston National Historic Park.
