Excerpts

"Faneuil Hall still serves as a handsome mercantile landmark, but more than that, Faneuil Hall holds a special niche in history and in Boston as a place of public meeting. It is the centerpiece of a scene fully as busy and as colorful as in the days of merchant shipping and revolutionary zeal."
