TEXT: Introduction Often referred to as the Cradle of Liberty, Faneuil Hall has served as a market-place and meeting hall since it was built in 1742. The building became the first town hall in Boston and during the years leading up to the American Revolution the Great Hall on the second floor was the scene of many meetings where Bostonians voiced their dissent against the oppressive policies of the British Parliament. Faneuil Hall still provides a forum for debate on the issues of today.
