Tremont Temple, Baptist church building in Downtown Boston, US

The Renaissance Revival structure on Tremont Street contains a large auditorium, ground-floor retail shops, and upper-story offices across multiple levels.

Built in 1896 by architect Clarence Blackall, this building replaced a former theater that experienced three major fires in 1852, 1879, and 1893.

The church established in 1839 became the first racially integrated congregation in America, offering free attendance to worshippers regardless of their background.

The building generates income through retail space rentals and auditorium leasing, maintaining its commitment to free seating during religious services.

Charles Dickens selected this location for his first United States reading of A Christmas Carol in 1867, marking a significant literary moment.
