A view down Salem Street in Boston's North End toward the Old North Church, whose tall spire and clock rise above the brick and white-faced buildings lining the street. The church, formally Christ Church, was built in 1723 and is Boston's oldest surviving church building. It is best known for the lanterns hung from its steeple on the night of April 18, 1775, signaling the movement of British troops before the fighting at Lexington and Concord.
