About this audio guide
Paul Revere Mall's guide follows sculptor Cyrus Dallin, only twenty-three when he beat established rivals in 1885 to win the competition for Boston's monument to Paul Revere's ride. It traces the decades his winning design spent stalled by funding troubles and committee politics, and the seven reworked models he produced while the bronze he imagined stayed stuck in clay. Look toward Old North Church at the far end of the mall, the steeple his statue answers.
