Description
The 740ft/224m high Hancock Tower not only overtops its immediate neighbours but is in fact the highest building in the whole city. Its sixty stories are concealed behind a reflective glass faIade. The finest panoramic view of Boston is to be had from the observatory on the top floor.

Following the events of September 11, 2001 the Hancock Observation deck has been closed.
