As an AVID player of SC4 I can only say thank you and good luck.

There have been tons of Old Hancock photos posted here, its just a matter of finding them. A good place to start is the Hancock of the Day thread.

I always thought it looked like someone had chopped off the top 2/3rds of the Empire State Building.

Thought this would be a good time to post these pics again. I think the original discussion was deleted.


And some bonus pictures:

So I guess I'm completely clueless about something. (More than one thing ...)

Is the "Old John Hancock" building the entire building bordered by St James, Clarendon, Stuart, and Berkeley streets? I never stopped to think about it but now I realize the whole time I thought it was one building on that block, it appears to be two? Were they built at different times? The stone work is not consistent on the Clarendon and Berkeley sides.

Here's 197 Clarendon Street, just for kicks.

The old Hancock Building is 200 Berkeley Street which is a separate building although it is attached at lobby level to 197 Clarendon (and both are attached to the Hancock Tower by underground tunnell). 197 Clarendon used to be a 3-4 story building then 3-4 more stories were added on to it.

There are some great old pics of both 200 Berkeley and 197 Clarendon somewhere on this forum.

Four C's?

Did someone fail modern roman numerals class?

No, there are some variations on Roman numerals and this is one of them.
