West walking away from the front door of the Paul Revere House in Boston's North End neighborhood. Along the bottom edge, a sliver of N Square stretches on an upward angle to the right. At far left, 2 young children play with a toy car on the sidewalk that passes in front of the Paul Revere House. The Paul Revere House stands on the far side of the street. It is viewed close-up and at an angle from the front. The timber-constructed dwelling stands 2-stories tall with lattice-pane windows lining both floors. An American flag extends out from the center of the building. H. H. West stands in the distance at far right, facing camera as he walks away from the house. A building adjacent to the Paul Revere House is barely visible standing along the right edge. NRHP reference # 66000785 Text from negative sleeve: [handwritten:] x [end handwritten] 2353.
