Faneuil Hall in Boston stands beside a busy market square, its brick and stone facade topped by a white cupola and weathervane. Horse-drawn wagons, carts, and produce stalls fill the open space in front, reflecting the building's long use as a produce market. Built in 1740-1742 and enlarged by Charles Bulfinch in 1806, the hall served as both a market house and a public meeting place; its Revolutionary-era gatherings earned it the nickname "Cradle of Liberty."
White border at bottom carrying the printed caption; handwritten date "Sept 13th 1907" and initials "M. R." on the front; light staining and scuffing in the sky area.
