Although the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States led to the closure of the John Hancock Tower Observation Deck, the tallest tower in New England is still a sight to see in Boston's Copley Square district.The reflective glass of this 10,000-window building offers a stunning perspective on the historic buildings and quaint restaurants that surround the office building.
Hailed as an architectural wonder, the John Hancock Tower was designed and completed in 1976 by world-famous architect I.M. Pei. The buildings looks almost transparent on sunny, clear days. Located away from the skyscrapers of downtown Boston, the John Hancock Tower soars high over the area and provides an excellent photo opportunity for every Boston visitor!
