St. Stephen's
St. Stephen's Church, previously known as the New North Church, in Boston's North End was built between 1802 and 1804. The architect was the renowned Charles Bulfinch, who also designed the Massachusetts State House. Originally Congregationalist, it transitioned to Unitarian and in 1862 was acquired by the Catholic Diocese of Boston when it was renamed St. Stephen's. By the mid-19th century, a significant number of Irish Catholic immigrants had settled in the North End. Rose Kennedy (mother of JFK) was baptized in this church in 1890 and her funeral took place here in 1995. A significant structural restoration was done in the mid-1960s. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
