| Quincy Court is a small alley that leads to the rear of a couple North Street buildings and the home to the "Just Suits" painted advertisement that appeared on the original Forgotten Boston page. [which is a bit of a muddle; I'll have to bring it up to spec -- your webmaster] | |||||||||||||||

| Baker's Alley, across from Quincy Court, is located off of North Street, near North Square. It sits to the right of the Limoncello Restaurant and leads to the rear of the restaurant and what appears from the street to be a private residence. | |||||||||||||||

| Sun Court Street runs between North Street and Moon Street. Note the wall mounted luminaries, most likely installed so that light poles would not take up any more room than necessary. The Paul Revere House, the oldest in the North End (built 1676) can be found at North Square, the junction of Sun Court, Prince, Garden Court and Moon Streets. It was built on the site of the older Captain Kemble House. According to legend, Kemble had to spend several hours in the stocks after being convicted of "lewd and vicious" conduct. He was found kissing his wife on Sunday after returning from a long voyage. |
