    "Dirty Old Boston"

    Beautiful Hancock lobby. The current iteration will never live up to this

    Awesome! I hope the lettering on the PRUDENTIAL sign gets a bit of a cleaning, but not a full on replacement.

    Amazingly designed building. I’m so excited to see it finished! And I agree, the glass is beautiful as well

    I’ve garnered a strange affinity for the pre-renovation Prudential Center Shops, and with that affixation came the sudden rush to find 1990s stuff of the mall. There’s a ton that I’ve managed to find!

    I usually find most of those photos on either Internet Archive books, or architecture magazine archives from the USModernist website. Occasionally I’ll also find things from tracking down designers. ;) Also the space below Legal was a Star Market, but I could be wrong.

    90s Pru photo that's mildly creeping me out. This area really looked elegant at night, though. Does anyone know what the store under Legal Sea Foods was?

    The New Retail Thread

    What's been going on with Ann Taylor at the Shops at Prudential? I walked past it the other day and it seems like it's closed and a new *something* is going in its spot (white temporary boarding.) Unless, they're just pulling off another new remodel or something.

    Pardon me, as I didn't know what place to put this in, but I found this really neat elevation plan for the Hynes in a book.

    Intl. Place looked quite goofy without the rest of the buildings on the other side.

    Sorry for abusing this thread, but didn't you guys want more of the original 1POSq lobby?

    Despite how freakin' disgusting the facade looks, replacing it takes away the classic Boston from the tower. The inelegant 60s facade may be outdated, but it's the Pru everyone knows well. A panel cleaning wouldn't hurt though

    Langham hotel to undergo renovation

    Will they get rid of the remaining 1 PO Sq. red marble paneling near the atrium?

    Good ‘ol Boston lobbies

    I’m not partial to all old design... but I think certain buildings in Boston never deserved to have their lobbies replaced with blank, non-descript white design. While some might’ve had spectacularly ugly lobbies, they were quite memorable to many. (ex. 1 PO Sq) I just created this thread to...

    I found a couple of 90s Prudential photos once from a designer site, but I think the link must've died.
