Tooling Around Boston

I just love interesting architecture, buildings, etc. but I don't know one style from the other.. If I like it, I like it. That's all I need to know! We saw a lot of great eye-catching things in Boston on our whirlwind tooling around the city in Susan's car. So, most of these photos were made from a moving car! Whoops. 

The steeple of Park Street Church, built in 1810. It's bells woke me up on Sunday morning.
 
The top of the building across from our 13th floor hotel room

 
Interesting front of building near our hotel

 
Another steeple. I just love steeples.

 
The state house sitting atop Beacon Hill on a lot which had been John Hancock's cow pasture. The cornerstone was laid in 1795. the oration delivered by Gov. John Hancock, the masonic ceremonies conducted by Paul Revere, Grand Master.
 
A old church sitting in the midst of modern day Boston. I think it is King's Chapel but not positive.

  5. Very pretty photos and interesting architecture. I love steeples, too. I saw a blog hop where participants share photos of just windows, or just doors!

  6. Hi Latane, love the photos, I like steeples also as they invite us to look upwards. I like the old smaller buildings left among the skyscrapers, City planning did not go overboard as they can do in some cities.
