The white steeple of Park Street Church rises two hundred and seventeen feet above the corner of Park and Tremont Streets. It serves as a navigational beacon, marking the edge of the Boston Common. In eighteen twenty-nine, William Lloyd Garrison stood in this sanctuary to deliver his first major public address against slavery. The building holds that specific echo of the abolitionist movement, grounded by a massive stone foundation that has supported the congregation since its founding in eighteen hundred and nine.
