The 1920 caption reads: “Lexington, Massachusetts—the house in which Samuel Adams and John Hancock were asleep when roused by Paul Revere.” The Hancock-Clark House in Lexington, Massachusetts, is where John Hancock and Samuel Adams were awakened by Paul Revere on April 18, 1775. The men were asleep in “the parlor” of the house built in 1737 by Thomas Hancock for his father Rev. John Hancock.
