John de Nugent Wiki: “The current hall was built in 1968[1] and is a controversial[2] and prominent example of the brutalist architectural style.[3] It was designed by Kallmann McKinnell & Knowles (architects) with Campbell, Aldrich & Nulty (architects) and Lemessurier Associates (engineers).[4][5][6] Together with the surrounding plaza, City Hall is part of the Government Center complex, a major urban redesign effort in the 1960s. Most modern opinions of the building are negative, often calling it one of the world’s ugliest buildings.”

You don’t know the importance of tradition and beauty until it’s gone.

Let us not dwell on old grievances but revive the spirit we have lost.

Jason Pujo Howie Carr dubbed that style “Neo-Stalinist”. I just call it junk.

Jason Pujo At least it still exists (Old City Hall). It was a nice restaurant for many years. I haven’t been down State St. in years, so I don’t know what’s in there now.
