Faneuil Hall, the brick market and meeting house on Dock Square in Boston, has been a gathering place since it opened in 1742, and its nickname "the Cradle of Liberty" comes from the colonial-era town meetings and protests held inside. This c1931 print captures the building as it looked in the early twentieth century, when the structure was already a century-old landmark and the surrounding market district was busy with traffic and trade. Faneuil Hall was restored in the 1740s and again in the 1800s, and by the 1930s it stood as a symbol of the city's revolutionary past.
