It appears that I was headed towards the sea. I was walking all over Boston with no real itinerary but I stumbled into Boston City Hall which apparently is near the water. I thought that it would be nice place to see since Boston is by the sea. Already from city hall, I can see that there seems to be a lot of activity in the area. There was a deck where I can see the area and it seems that there are a few important landmarks here. Enough to have some buskers set up and entertain people. More prominently there seems to be a square here where people are gathering I would like to have a look.
There is another historical building here called the Faneuil Hall. The hall is named after a slave merchant Peter Faneuil who proposed to build it. It was built in 1743 though it burn down a few times. After it was rebuilt, it was expanded a few times as well. This is functioned as a meeting house back then, like a lot of historical buildings in Boston, it is also related to the American Revolution. Most notably, Samuel Adams, a leading proponent of independence from Britain gave a speech here. This is also why there is a statue of Samuel Adams just outside the hall. The hall surprisingly is one of the most visited places in the United States. For me, the building was unremarkable, but I think the historical significance of the building more than makes up for it.
