Few buildings in downtown Boston date back as far as the Paul Revere House on North Square, which was built around 1680 and is among the oldest surviving structures in the city. Revere bought the house in 1770 and lived there with his family for years, and it became a lasting reminder of the North End's colonial past. An elevation drawing like this one records the building's exterior as a flat, measured view, showing the proportions, window placement, and framing that survived centuries of change. Drawings of this kind were central to later restoration work, which aimed to bring the house back to its eighteenth-century appearance.
