Description:


From GNIS:
  • William Lloyd Garrison gave his first antislavery speech in this church. It was built in 1809 (US-T109). 'America' was first sung in public on July 4, 1852, at this church (MA-T36/p26). The variant name of 'Brimstone Corner' exists because the church was used to store gunpowder during the War of 1812 (MA-T36/p30).
  • U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service lists, brochures and handbooks. Year of publication and name of brochure or handbook follow (if known): Boston 
  • Also called Brimstone Corner: Wiencek, Henry. The Smithsonian Guide to Historic America: Southern New England. Revised and Updated edition. New York: Stewart, Tabori and Change, 1998.
