Old North Church is a church located within Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, California.[1] It is a precise replica of Boston's historic church, from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Paul Revere's Ride".[2] The historical rooms have documents and mementos of the colonial period.
As part of a plan to reproduce the setting of the Boston church, a marble bust of George Washington was commissioned. It was sculpted by Enzo Pasquini. The re-creation led to a lawsuit in 1970 (H. H. Elder & Co. and Forest Lawn Co. v. United States), which was dismissed.[3]
