Millions visit Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market each year--drawn by the food, the shops, and the rich sense of history. But behind the brick and granite walls are stories that most visitors (and even many locals) have never heard.

Faneuil Hall, opened in 1742 as a gift from wealthy merchant Peter Faneuil, was a marketplace and meetinghouse. While vendors sold meat, fish, and produce from first-floor stalls, the upstairs Great Hall hosted fiery debates and spirited gatherings on the issues that helped shape Boston and the nation--from the fight for independence to the struggle for civil rights. By the 1820s, Faneuil Hall could not keep pace with the needs of a booming Boston. Enter Quincy Market, three grand market houses that brought new life to the waterfront. Yet the market was nearly lost in the mid-20th century--until a bold reinvention in the 1970s turned the historic buildings into a national model for urban revival. Packed with colorful characters and forgotten chapters of Boston's history, this book is perfect for everyone who wants to see the city with fresh eyes.

Susan Mara Bregman is an author and photographer living in Boston. Her previous books for Arcadia Publishing have covered everything from candlepin bowling to whoopie pies. The images in this book came from historical societies, museums, libraries, universities, and private collections.
