The Paul Revere House was a residence in Boston and the home of Paul Revere during the American Revolutionary War.
History[edit | edit source]
Built in 1680, Paul Revere lived in the house with his family from 1770 to 1800. On occasions when he left to participate in the Revolutionary War, Paul left the house under the care of his eldest son, who prevented the house from being chopped down for firewood.[1]
On the night of 18 April 1775, the Assassin Connor accepted Revere's invitation and came to his residence, where William Dawes and Robert Newman were also present. They discussed what the Patriots learned, namely that the British Army was marching from Boston to destroy Patriot weapons and supplies at Lexington. Connor and Revere subsequently launched the midnight ride, warning the local militia to prepare for the British invasion.[2]
In 1905, Paul's great-grandson John P. Reynolds Jr bought the house and converted it into a museum. It is currently the oldest building still standing in Boston.[1]
