The three churches went up between 1812 and 1815: Trinity Church in a very early American Gothic, Center Church and United Church as Federal meetinghouses with New England steeples. Center Church was built directly over the colonial burying ground, and the crypt beneath it still holds the graves, intact, under the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Green has been a militia training field, a market, a burying ground, a protest site and a park, and the churches have watched all of it. A city that has rebuilt itself repeatedly kept this one block exactly as first drawn, which is why standing there still feels like standing in 1638 with better lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the engraved architecture stays sharp and the three red wreaths read against tree lights. The faceted edge catches light from every angle.
