1 jan 1658 ano - 1658 First Town House Built

Descrição:

1658
Builders complete Boston’s first Town House, built of wood to house the courts, a market, and a place for town elders to meet. Unfortunately, it will burn down in the Great Fire of 1711. When it is rebuilt, it eventually becomes known as the Old State House, which we can still visit today.

Also in 1658, Boston Puritans pass a law that specifies the death penalty for all previously expelled Quakers who return to Boston.
