About this postcard

A street view along Salem Street in Boston's North End looks toward the Old North Church, its white steeple rising above brick buildings and parked cars. The church, formally Christ Church, is Boston's oldest surviving church building; its steeple is where lanterns were hung to signal Paul Revere's midnight ride in 1775. The caption notes regular Sunday services at 10:45.
