Designed by Jesiah Blanchard and built in 1729,  this Georgian Church was often used for large gatherings.   The largest of these occurred on December 16, 1773,  when thousands came to hear Samuel Adams speak on the boycott of British tea.   The assembly later threw the Boston Tea Party.   Between 1774 and 1776,  it was used as a British officer's club and riding academy.   It was saved from demolition in 1875,  by the Old South Association - the first instance of historic preservation in America.   The Association now maintains the building as a museum.
