Fort Revere Park on Telegraph Hill holds the remains of two seacoast fortifications. Fort Independence, a star-shaped earthwork designed by General Joseph Palmer, was built here in 1776–77, and French marines from Admiral d’Estaing’s fleet enlarged it in 1778. Fort Revere was established in 1897; its gun batteries went up between 1898 and 1906, and it guarded Boston Harbor until 1947. Today the park offers views of the harbor and the Boston skyline, picnicking, and the old batteries and bunkers to explore.
The First Town Hall was built in 1848 on Spring Street, on the old Village Common. The school took its first floor, and the town offices and meeting hall its second, so for decades Hull's civic and educational life shared one roof. Town business moved to the new Town Hall in 1923, the building became a fire station in 1925, and the Hull Historical Society has made it its home since 1970.
The Fort Revere Officers' Quarters, built in 1903, housed the officers stationed at the fort. It is an intact example of the standardized housing the Army built for its posts, and today it stands as a reminder of the fort's military history.
