    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    The last great metro system built in USA. Although, I do miss the classical music they once played in the stations.

    City Hall Plaza Revamp | Government Center

    I love how cavernous the interior is — evokes a feeling of mystery and excitement (at least to someone who appreciates brutalist designs).

    Holocaust Museum Boston | 125 Tremont Street | Downtown

    New-build classical architecture (evoking old styles)

    The Bellemont is wonderful. A building like this would nicely fit into the Back Bay.

    I recall as far back as 2001 they were eyeing demolition of thst building. Between Brown’s comments and deferred maintenance, that still seems to be the case. I would have to see what an alternative would look like before coming down heavily on one side or another of a plan.

    That video is a truly great find. There should be a YouTube channel dedicated to his interviews.

    While I typically do not agree with demolition of older buildings, I could see a rationale in this instance.
