State Street Bank Building
225 Franklin Street Building
State Street Bank Building, also known as 225 Franklin Street, is a
high-rise office building located in the Financial District, Boston,
Massachusetts. The building stands at 477 feet with 33
floors and was completed in 1966. It is tied with 33 Arch Street as the
20th-tallest building in Boston. The architectural firm who designed the
building was F.A. Stahl & Associates. State Street Bank Building was one
of the first skyscrapers to be built in Boston after the completion of
the Prudential Tower in 1964. The building gained its name from the
prominent "State Street Bank" lettering present at the top of the
building for many years, although the sign has since been taken down. A
similar "State Street" sign was subsequently placed at One Lincoln
Street.
