The Baptist Church on the corner of Green and Pleasant Streets is "Carpenter" Gothic in style, with Tudor arches over the aisle windows and a Gothic entry porch. The narrow-pointed windows in the tower are called triple lancets, because their shape resembles the head of a spear or lance. Across the street is City Hall, built in 1851. Like the Court House, this structure has the Italianate features of the early and mid-19th century institutional buildings, while retaining the older, traditional rectangular form of the classical temple. The pediment (gable end) faces the street. During this period, the classical features of the building are treated with more vigor and imagination - note the large brownstone corner quoins and the window sills on consoles (or brackets). The handsome cast-iron balcony above the front door is typical of the Italianate.

The small green on your left is called Brown Square. If you have time, walk to the end of it. The Square was laid out in 1802 by Moses Brown, a prominent merchant who imported molasses for the local rum distilleries at his wharves at the foot of Green Street. He had planned to build a block of brick stores and houses, which were never finished. If you look at the near corner of the brick Garrison Inn, you will see that the wall is "rat-tailed", ready for the addition that was never built. The Garrison Inn is a fine example of Federal architecture. Note the double doors with fan lights over each entrance, the belt course (projecting molding) at the second floor level, the stone lintels over the windows, and the extremely fine Federal cornice.

The statue in Brown Square is of William Lloyd Garrison, the "Great Emancipator", who was born in Newburyport in 1805. His birthplace is included in later in this tour.
