I love the Harvard class of whatever chruch thingy. I can give credit to that building for interesting the budding architect within me when I was a wee lad of 8 going to Harvard football games and seeing if I could lean against the glass without falling in.
 
Oh, and that towery-gold-ball thing is a clock. When it gets into the black part, it's night time when it's at the top, its high noon.
 
Confession: I never liked the Citgo sign. Still don't. Worst. Landmark. Ever.

Credit to Moshe Safdie, architect of the original Boston Museum proposal. A competent and sometimes inventive architect who sometimes latches on to bad ideas.

I like Safdie's Chapel too, but it is a knock-off of Eero Saarinen's Chapel at MIT, one of Greater Boston's finest modern buildings.

BTW, nice pics, kz1000ps.
 
Yeah, I wish we had a less corporate landmark or something, but I've certainly grown to like it. It was all I knew of Boston growing up and watching Red Sox games from Rhode Island with the Citgo sign over the Green Monster.
 
Looks better than its "Cities Service" predecessor.
 
OK, you did pick the one angle from which the CITGO Sign hides something more interesting (the Christian Science Mother Church dome)
 
I'm guessing late September? When colors are just barely starting to turn?
 
More Dorchester pics from that realtor:

Melville Park - Dorchester Estates (near Field's Corner)

He asked me to leave the watermark on this one because it's in all his marketing materials:
