Boston City Hall never looked lovelier. Before the brutalist behemoth rose in Government Center, it existed on architectural plans as construction got under way. This March 30, 1965 aerial view offers a glimpse into the nascent Government Center in Boston. In the center is the twin-towered Federal Office complex with garage. The new Massachusetts State Office building is second from left, and the remodeled Suffolk County Court House is on the left. Immediately in front is the steel work construction for the commercial building “One Government Plaza.” Seen in the center foreground is historic Faneuil Hall, with the freshly poured foundation for a new Boston City Hall just behind.
