. . . Two if by sea? EDIT: Earlier post on this topic at https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3773919 https://qmap.pub/read/3987 https://cdn.qmap.pub/images/b0bea38c7dc62095cd6fa6f8409ddad99d27e7a177ed6b1da37e85a45bc9a98d.jpg Old North Church - Boston - April 18, 1775 The place for the signal, the Old North Church in Boston’s North end was chosen for two reasons. One was that the Old North was at the time the tallest building in Boston. Even today its steeple is easily visible from far away in many directions standing high at 191 ft (58 m). The second reason why Revere chose this specific church was because of the cooperation of Robert John Newman, the sexton (custodian) of the church who was a fellow patriot and had access to church in the middle of the night. http://www.paul-revere-heritage.com/one-if-by-land-two-if-by-sea.html https://oldnorth.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/10-452-213.jpg EDIT: Appears to have been taken from inside round window in front of steeple. https://www.gpsmycity.com/img/gd_sight/19833.jpg
