Despite Boston’s impressive haul of historic architecture, dating back longer than you’d probably think, one of its most striking buildings is this Brutalist offering from the 1960s.
Loved and loathed in far from equal measure, Boston City Hall just can’t be ignored. It displaced one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods so wasn’t welcomed by most people.
Now though, this beast of a building is part of Boston’s landscape. At worst, it’s a great example of its type. Some even think it should be a National Historic Landmark.
Well, the other day we visited, to discuss possible warehouse premises. Inside it’s much the same. Lots of concrete. Only took one pic and it’s a bit blurry but you get the idea…
I have to say, I’m glad that buildings like this aren’t still being created but I like it. It helps document an ‘interesting’ architectural period. What do you think; love it or hate it? 
I”m a lover!
Yay for that!
[...] imposing concrete lattice ceilings and pillars, giving a similar feel to Boston City Hall, which I posted about in August last [...]
I HATE IT!
Exactly the response I expected from you Joel!
