This stretch has this very unique vernacular. It's this 30s-50s gray, stone vibe that isn't really replicated anywhere else in the city. You can just picture the hats and briefcases smoking musty cigs.
This really captured it. I used to commute in to Boston in the late 60's into the Greyhound station nearby. There were a lot of ad agencies in the neighborhood then. The neighborhood had that "Mad Men" look to it.
Anyway, I'd be ok with it if it was a taller version of the current front façade, all Madison Ave of the 40's looking. But I don't dig a reptile terrarium or an "iconic" twist and shout.
