When did the stainless steel lettering come down?
The lettering came down immediately after the Boston Landmark Commission rejected the building's preservation worthiness. I'm guessing the rationale behind its removal was to erase any physical remnants that could possibly evoke a sentimental response in the populace. The same thing was done by Druker with the Woman's Educational and Industrial Union on Boylston St. The building stands for now, but the letters, as of recently, have been removed.
