have been active in raising the money
to preserve it.
The first decisive move for its pres.
ervation was made four years ago by
John p. Reynolds, Jr, descendant
Of Paul Revere, who bought the prop.
erty at that time to hold it TIL such
time as fund could be raised to pur.
chase it for public purposes. The
time has now arrived, and Mr.. Rey-
nolds has decided the property for
$4,000, his original purchase price, to
Grafton ID. Cushing, Walter Gilman
Page and CHARLES s. Rackemann, as
trustees, who will administer its af-
fairs in the public interest for the
present.
About $4,000 will be required for
the restoration of the house. which is
thoroughly dilapidated. The trustees
have at present about $4,000. so 1t
will be necessary to raise as much
more before the place will be in first.
class condition. 1t is hoped that all
who feel pride in the preservation of
the house, and who have not already
contributed, will helr to make up the
deficit, sending any sum, however
small, to one of the trustees.
1t is also hoped to raise u fund for
the maintenance of the building and
for the payment of the taxes, unless
It shall be exempted from taxation, as
It's preservers believe 1t should be. by
reason of the object for which 1t is
] preserved.
Though the fact is not generally
known, the house is undoubtedly
much changed in appearance since
Revere's day. An architect who ia
familiar with 1t says that in Revere's
day 1t was only one story high and
had a pitch roof. Now It Is of two
stories and has an ugly fiat roof.
Though 1t would be both more pic.
turesque and more correct If the extra
story was removed and the pitch roof
restored, 1t Is feared that II such
change should be made there would
be a great protest from people who
have always regarded the building as
representing in It's present aspect
what 1t was when Revere lived in It.
The interior is very different from
what It once was, the rooms having
been rearranged to accommodate ten
ement dwellers and lodgers. Beyond
the heavy timbers and possibly few
Of the window sashes and doors. 1t is
doubtful II any part of the interior oi
1775 remains.
The house is believed to be 22O
years old. Revere bought 1t In 1870
and lived In 1t till about 1850, when
his enlarged income enabled him to
purchase a more pretentious house In
Charter street, In which he lived till
he died in 1917.
