Description: This is a UPI Telephoto with typed news item of Boston's Old North Church, dated 5/6/1960. Photo measures 9" x 7". News item reads:5/6/60-BOSTON: The white spire of Boston's Old North Church is given a fresh coat of paint by two dare-devil steeple-jacks. The steeple, made famous in the historical Midnight Ride by Paul Revere, is an exact copy of the original which was toppled by hurricane winds several years ago. The Old North Church (officially, Christ Church in the City of Boston), is an Episcopal mission church located in the North End neighborhood of Boston. The church, which was built in 1723, is the oldest standing church building in Boston and a National Historic Landmark. Old North Church is famous for its role in Paul Revere's midnight ride on April 18, 1775. On that night, the church's sexton, Robert Newman hung two lanterns in the church's steeple, which alerted Revere and the other riders to British military movements prior to the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first engagements of the American Revolutionary War. Fast safe, and reasonable shipping with tracking.
