I nominate:

- The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (*and if we're going to nitpick, we can distinguish the Renzo Piano addition from the original house/museum).

- Ferdinand Building, Roxbury

I'm not sure if there's a "permanently ineligible" list due to lack of votes in a given year, or some other reason, but if it's eligible:

I nominate the Park Plaza Castle.
