Three women stand outside the Paul Revere House, Boston, 1947

Description: An out-of-focus and poorly-lit photograph of 3 women standing on the sidewalk in front of the Paul Revere House in Boston's North End neighborhood. A sliver of N Square passes across the lower right corner on an angle. At center and right, 3 women dressed in dark clothing stand on the sidewalk that lines the front of the Paul Revere House. All face away from camera. The Paul Revere House stands on the far side of the street. It is viewed close-up and at an angle from the front. The timber-constructed dwelling stands 2-stories tall with lattice-pane windows lining both floors. An American flag extends out from the center of the building. A building adjacent to the Paul Revere House stands along the right edge. Two streaks of white enter the frame at far right.
