Iron Balcony

Balcony, Park Street Church, which sits at the corner of Park and Tremont Streets. This corner is known as Brimstone Corner, presumably because of the preaching done from this balcony; some have said it got this name because of all the hot air wafting down the street from the State House. Currently the church is covered with scaffolding and netting from ground to steeple as the brick is repointed. Suffolk Law School is in the background. Click here for a full view of the church.

Park Street Church

Park Street Church, viewed from Tremont Street. Built in 1809, its 217 ft. steeple, once one of the tallest in the city, is now dwarfed by taller buildings in the area.

The church is known for its many firsts: On July 4, 1829, William Lloyd Garrison gave his first public anti-slavery speech here and two years later, "My Country 'Tis of Thee" was sung for the first time by the church children's choir.

The church is still a vibrant and active presence in the city; visit the church's website.
