Faneuil Hall (second) opens.

Architect: Charles Bulfinch. Extensively renovated, the building is twice the size of the original, now made of brick, and includes an additional third floor, and the cupola moved to the harbor end. The combination of an upstairs public meeting place with a ground floor public market leads Francis Hatch to write, “Here orators / In ages past / Have mounted their attack / Undaunted by proximity / Of sausage on the rack.” Charles Bulfinch slips on the icy steps of the building in 1813, breaks his leg, and is lame for the rest of his life. Several city offices are located here between 1841-1863. The building is damaged by fire on January 27, 1862. It is renovated and restored a number of times during the years, most recently in 1992.
