Paul Revere owned the home from 1770 to 1800. After Revere sold the home in 1800, it soon became a boarding house and tenement, and the ground floor was remodeled for use as shops including, at various times, a candy store, cigar factory, bank, and vegetable and fruit business. In 1902, Paul Revere's great-grandson, John P. Reynolds Jr., purchased the building to ensure that it would not be demolished. Over the next few years, money was raised and the Paul Revere Memorial Association formed to preserve and restore the building. In April 1908, the Paul Revere House opened its doors to the public as one of the earliest historic house museums in the U.S.

Comments about Smart Destinations Paul Revere House:
Paul Revere had a lovely master bedroom. His mother's (or was it his mother-in-law's)residence in the next room seemed mighty nice of him. We didn't get to see the kid's quarters on the third floor.
