“Prudential - Boston — 1970”
The exact project or site has not yet been identified.
When the Prudential Tower was completed in 1964, it ended the Custom House Tower's 59-year reign over Boston and became North America's tallest building outside New York. Its windows later became a giant civic message board, spelling 'GO SOX' in letters 91 feet high.
