500 Boylston Street

Five Hundred Boylston Street is defined by its facade of carved rose granite, soaring columns, and a vaulted copper roofline. Completed in nineteen eighty-nine, this twenty-five story complex was designed by architects John Burgee and Philip Johnson. It occupies a prominent position along Boylston Street and is a noted example of postmodern architecture in the city, characterized by its classical motifs and dramatic scale.
