Information

I could not find any history on this building; however, it shows up on a detailed map as a very small Quaker meeting house in this spot surrounded by larger Puritan (aka Congregational or Calvinist Presbyterian) churches. The map was created by a Loyalist who was stuck in Boston during the siege and given permission by Britain to map out fortifications and locations.

Life was very difficult for Quakers in the area – see “Beacon Hill Friends Meeting House” for more. Life was also difficult for loyalists during the Siege. See “Hollis St Church - Mather Byles Sr” for more.
