New Old South Church, Boston, stands on the corner of Boylston and Dartmouth Streets, a Gothic Revival building of the 1870s whose tall spire became a familiar landmark in the city's Back Bay. The congregation traced its roots to the older Old South Meeting House downtown, which had been a center of revolutionary-era debate, and the move to a new site reflected the shifting population of Boston's fashionable districts. In an early 1900s photograph, the church would have stood among the brick townhouses and horse-drawn traffic of a rapidly growing city, worth noticing for the way its stone spire rises above the streetscape.
