The Hancock-Clarke parsonage. The destination of Paul Revere and William Dawes because John Hancock (house originally belonged to Reverend Hancock, John's grandfather) and Samuel Adams were staying there and it was believed that the British regulars were going to take them prisoner.

Orchard House, home of Louisa May Alcott from age 13 on.
