THE FOLLEN CHURCH (1840), EAST LEXINGTON VILLAGE
East Lexington village was reached by the British at early dawn on the 19th of April. It was here that Benjamin Wellington was captured and disarmed by British scouts, the first armed man to be taken in the Revolution. Most of East Lexington’s buildings now date from later periods.
MODERN LEXINGTON—THE CARY MEMORIAL BUILDING
MODERN LEXINGTON—THE RAILWAY STATION
Much of the architecture of modern Lexington reflects its distinguished past. The railway station, for example, is in the chaste Colonial tradition. So is the Cary Memorial Building (1928) which serves as a Town Hall. Among other paintings it contains the famous canvas of the Battle of Lexington, “The Dawn of Liberty,” by Henry Sandham.
