Hilgenhurst Medallion
Installed in front of the Omni Parker House in Boston, this bronze marker depicts the Old North Church from a viewpoint at the center of the city. The plaque’s compass points to the Church. The inscription reads:
FRIEND – LOOK UP AND SEE THE NORTH CHURCH TOWER WHERE WERE SHOWN TWO LANTERN LIGHTS ON THE NIGHT OF APRIL 18, 1775, TO SEND PAUL REVERE ON HIS FAMOUS RIDE AND BEGIN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. THIS VIEW PRESERVED FOR ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS BY CHARLES HILGENHURST AND COLLEAGUES OF THE BOSTON REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN THE YEAR 1960
