Great pics though:) rj2uman January 23rd, 2003, 08:47 PM I was told on a tour while I was in Boston that the Aluminum skin on this building is a favorite target of rock throwing teens. It apparently dents easily.:? SteelCity32 January 23rd, 2003, 10:22 PM lol. It's basically a box. 5/10 Wu-Gambino January 24th, 2003, 12:23 AM Looks a little run-down 5 CG5 January 24th, 2003, 01:40 AM I've actually always liked this building. It's very powerful, and it stands out in a somewhat bland skyline. 7/10 SeeMacau January 24th, 2003, 01:50 AM Ugly, I don't like this building 4/10 SUNNI January 27th, 2003, 03:41 AM i dont this trhis building has any sorta charactor..... boring 4 TheWeinbot January 27th, 2003, 04:00 AM Character?! Character?! That's what's great about this building! It has no character. It's totally overpowering in it's blank sterility. 610 feet of total unfriendliness. I love it. 8/10 renell February 8th, 2003, 10:49 AM looks fine fore a building 25 years old... 5.5 if a were a rock throwing teen, i would give this a 10 SteaPVU March 12th, 2003, 06:03 AM *9/10* Now that's power. Clean and Orthoganal, after all, it is a bank. The Messiah March 15th, 2003, 01:43 AM :omg: looks real cheap.Well it was build 25 years ago huh...... 4.0/10 Evergrey April 8th, 2003, 07:01 PM 0/10 One of the ugliest buildings in existance. It looks like a prison. What were they thinking in the 70's!?!?!? :rant: Fabio November 9th, 2003, 04:15 PM 4.5/10 an ugly box james2390 December 21st, 2003, 05:45 AM baaa, 3 UrbanDesigner January 8th, 2004, 08:27 AM For a fairly large city, Boston's skyscrapers are really awful! tocoto October 15th, 2004, 02:23 PM This building was considered an architectural masterpiece when built. It has the highest quality materials and at over 600' is really very impressive in person. SChristopher October 22nd, 2004, 11:29 PM Cold and Dismal...5/10 metcalf October 31st, 2004, 01:57 AM That is beuatiful biulding, something nice that came out of the 70's. it is severe but elegant too. Schroedinger's Cat November 17th, 2004, 01:21 PM 5.5/10 Monkey November 17th, 2004, 01:24 PM Not very 'friendly' looking. 5.5 Toucano November 22nd, 2004, 06:33 AM I love it, and pictures do not do it any justice, when u stand below it you can only be amazed by its sheer size... Randwicked December 8th, 2004, 02:26 PM I like it. 8 DamienK December 15th, 2004, 09:25 AM It doesn't look that tall. 7/10. Jediot February 27th, 2005, 05:40 AM ive always liked this building, there arent many othe building like it. although it looks angry and mean its a kickass buillding that fits perfect with boston 8/10 DarkFenX February 27th, 2005, 05:20 PM 5/10 Þróndeimr February 27th, 2005, 06:32 PM 4.5/10 Alter-Ego March 1st, 2005, 09:23 AM 4/10 DRAKKO June 30th, 2005, 10:27 AM 5/10 forvine December 20th, 2005, 09:36 AM 5.5/120 Sinjin P. December 20th, 2005, 09:38 AM 6/10 unimpressive.

It apparently dents easily. Damn punks and their skateboards! Anyway, very much a Stubbins design, I like its brutality. 8.6 kamilo rxn August 15th, 2006, 12:16 AM 8/10 is okay delmaule September 1st, 2006, 09:04 PM 6.5/10 gutooo September 5th, 2006, 10:46 AM 5.5/10 ZZ-II March 31st, 2007, 06:12 PM 7/10 MDguy March 31st, 2007, 06:23 PM I like it a lot! 8.5/10 W!CKED April 1st, 2007, 12:46 AM 3/10 Skyman April 6th, 2007, 01:49 PM 7/10 marpa June 23rd, 2007, 02:54 PM 6,5/10 gregrc75 October 22nd, 2007, 08:38 PM To echo others, it does look pretty cool in person. The light reflects off it differently as the day progresses. 8/10 Cojapo January 2nd, 2008, 03:26 PM http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w294/cojapo/Picture118.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w294/cojapo/Picture084.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w294/cojapo/Picture079.jpg It's one of those buildings that when you see it on a regular basis, it grows on you. From the waterfront, it has a prominent position. And it should be framed nicely once South Station Tower goes up. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w294/cojapo/Picture123.jpg The base is kinda interesting.
