#159 l John Hancock Tower l BOSTON l 241m l 60fl - Page 6

Scruffy88 · January 9th, 2006, 08:03 AM

Its a trapezoid floor plan, not a rectangle. It has so much history and will likely continue as the tallest in New England for a long time. No one in Boston seems to have any intention of besting it. The dark blue reflective glass picks up the sun or the clouds or trinity church perfectly. Best view is from across Charles River in Cambridge where you can see this and Prudential Tower in one shot. Boston's Big 2
8.5/10

The tower has no other attractive side than that little triangle shaped part of the facade. 6/10

It was a box before it's time --- I mean come on people...I know you are entitled to your opinions but to say "it sucks, worst box ever" is just ignorant....boxes are not ugly because they are plain...people in 1913 hated Met Life Tower, calling it an abomination
