Old South Church

July 24th, 2007
A national historic landmark and one of the finest basilicas in North America. It was designed in the Venetian Gothic style and completed in 1875 for a congregation founded in 1669.

Below: The campanile, on the western end of the church, is 246 feet tall and houses a 2020 lb bell. I took this photo from the Skywalk observatory.

Below: The campanile reflected in the façade of the John Hancock tower. The building reflected in the narrow side of the tower is 500 Boylston Street a.k.a. the Boston Legal building. More reflections here.

Below: In 1905 the congregation commissioned Tiffany to redecorate the Sanctuary. Click the photo to see more of Old South Church's exquisite interior.
