Explore the language of 18th century architecture with a tour of King’s Chapel’s 1754 building. A structure inspired by London’s churches but built of New England materials, the Stone Chapel represents how colonial Boston saw itself within the Atlantic World. Stepping into a Georgian building was like entering into a conversation between architect and viewer, a language we’ve forgotten how to read. Join us in learning how to read an 18th century building as it was meant to be understood.
