Charles St. Jail Hotel

That notorious criminal Paris Hilton stayed in the Presidential Suite during her recent Boston visit and supposedly signed her mug shot.

I hate the cupola, historically accurate or not -- it looks like plastic.

Yeah, there is definitely something off about that cupola - but I can't quite figure it out.

I love cupolas, of any sort!

Nothing new to report here other than the addition of the "The Liberty Hotel" signage. I know this is too short and too traditional for most here's tastes but I think this is one of the most handsome new buildings in Boston, at least when seen in person which is a view I gather not all have actually seen. I had the brightness set too highly on my phone but it does look a lot better than this in real life.

That's some nice brickwork, however, I don't really like the style of glassy brick towers, no matter how well done.
