Correct me if I'm wrong. Looks like the old North church steeple in Boston. 2 lit lamps.

It is. Site of the One if by Land, Two if By Sea.

You're right. With your info it was easy to find the picture source:
https://oldnorth.com/historic-site/the-events-of-april-18-1775/
And that is the source for the Q3987 picture:

And that was this years lantern lighting filmed from inside the steeple: https://youtu.be/qmGtaobiFs0?t=196 (lighting at 3:19).
The live stream from outside was interrupted: https://youtu.be/d529Wh3D1jI?t=18

So if I've read it correctly, the 2 lamps were lit to signal the approach of the enemy..?

The two lanterns were meant as the message that the British forces left from Boston Common.
