Quaker Meeting House (first) is built.

[1697] The wood-frame building is located on today’s City Hall Plaza (then Brattle Street). The first Quaker meeting house in Boston, it is replaced by a brick building (second) in 1694,* and by another (third) on Congress Street (third) in 1710.* A Quaker cemetery is established nearby. The congregation is dissolved in 1808. The remains in the cemetery are moved to Lynn in 1826 and the cemetery land is sold in 1827. Another Quaker congregation is subsequently started and meets on Milton Place.
