The glass towers are part of the New England Holocaust Memorial (1995).
The apparent decorative pattern in the glass, when seen close-up, is actually six million random numbers, one for each Jew killed.
The Old North Church, where two lanters were held up to denote "two if by sea." That is, that the British were crossing the Charles River, a fact relayed by Paul Revere after his famous midnight ride.
