Former location of the Fiske Building, whose beautiful 1868 classical granite edifice was destroyed in 1964 when the owner decided to cover it with metal panels; its mansard roof was also destroyed at that time and replaced by five levels of balconies. These "renovations" were so unsuccessful that the whole building was demolished in 1989. Today the 75 State Street Building stands on the site, a beautiful art deco building with gold decoration.

At State and Congress Streets is the facade of the old Boston Stock Exchange. The original building was constructed in 1891, and a large glass tower was added behind the old structure in 1984. Retaining the facade allowed State Street to appear as it has since 1891. This example of architectural preservation was extremely innovative, and arguably spawned a successful preservation movement in many other cities in the United States.

"The magnificent Corinthian hall of the Stock Exchange (115 by 50 feet) affords very exciting scenes when the stock market is agitated. A gallery on the second floor is always open to visitors." - quoted from How To See Boston by Moses King (1895)

This site was also the location of the Bunch Of Grapes Tavern, founded in 1713, and later a popular meeting place of Sons of Liberty, and the first Masonic Lodge in the United States.

The New England Telephone and Telegraph Building rises 298 feet into the skyline of Boston's financial district. The building formerly headquartered the New England Telephone company, but is currently used by Verizon Communications. Its construction was completed in 1947 and it overlooks the Post Office Square Park to the north.

The art deco building at 185 Franklin St. is like a slice of telephone history. In an alcove off the lobby, a small exhibit open to the public gives a history of the development of the telephone. A massive mural circles the lobby, showing the history of the telephone -- from Alexander Graham Bell's invention, to operators manning manual switchboards, to linemen working on phone poles.

In today's world of steel and glass office buildings, this structure at 45 Milk St. in Boston is a reminder of what an office building using classic architectural elements is like. It also shows the limits of classical style. Besides using classical elements such as arches and architectural carvings, the International Trust Company Building is classically structured. It has an obvious base, middle and top sections unlike the sky scraper pictured behind it.
The third, seventh and eight floors are horizontally defined by a series of arched windows. This helps define the building's visual center, floors four through six, which are framed by engaged columns into vertical thirds. Within this frame each side has a three-floor inset bay window which defines vertical strips up center.
Architectural carvings by Max Bachman enliven the facade, and help establish the structure's base and ornamented entry way to 45 Milk St.
While the intricacies of classical style work well on smaller buildings, today's far larger structures use simpler geometric repetition which emphasize their more expansive surfaces. A good example of this is the John Hancock Tower.
Unlike the International Trust Company Building with its ornate and well defined entrance, larger modern structures often struggle with creating human-sized openings in sleek monoliths.
