Hi All,
I am SO glad I found this page!
I grew up in the Prudential Towers at 780 Boylston Street, 10th floor, from 1982-1989. My grandparents also lived in the same building on the 4th floor. I visited the Prudential Mall all the time, and I VERY much remember the windy escalator, fountain, and the Christmas Tree lighting. I remember the Brigham's as well. Looking back, I wish I had taken more photos of the interior of the apartments when I was growing up and before my family and I moved to our current home.
I wonder if there are any photos from that time period of the interior of the building? Also, are there any photos of the interior of the Prudential Mall at that time?
I also remember the holiday parties, and there was a cute little Post-It notepad with a flip-book-style rendition of the Christmas Tree lighting. I wish I took one (or some!) of those. I wonder if those designs exist anywhere?
In the early 2010s, I went to visit the building again. I have to admit I cried. I didn't feel like I was at "home" anymore. I felt the building was so fancy and more of an upscale hotel-like feel instead of a home. I felt so out of place.
I look forward to hearing from you all soon.
Thank you for reading my post,
LG
