One Beacon Street Building
One Beacon Street is a modern skyscraper in the Government Center
neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1972 and refurbished
in 1991, it is Boston's 15th-tallest building, standing 505 feet (154
m) tall, and housing 37 floors. Its position near the top of Beacon
Hill gives the building a commanding presence, though it is located
away from many other Boston skyscrapers.
The tower houses a broadcast mast on the roof, painted red and
white. With its broadcast mast included, One Beacon Street is the
4th-tallest building in Boston (when measuring to pinnacle height),
rising 623 feet (190 m). Apart from the mast, the roof of the building
is flat and has no crown.
