Talk:Custom House Tower

Untitled
"The new tower was 151m (496ft) tall, easily Boston's tallest building until the 1947 John Hancock Tower, which is just one foot shorter. Both were trumped by the 1964 construction of the Prudential Tower. The clock on the upper tower of the building measures 22 feet in diameter. The building has 32 floors and was recently converted into an 80-room Marriott Hotel. Fourteen years before this conversion, the tower lay inaccessible and unoccupied."

What's the deal with this paragraph? The John Hancock Tower surpassed the Customs Tower despite being shorter? And what's with the "fourteen years" part? Who cares? Presumably it was also inaccessible thirteen years before the conversion, as well as three and a half years before the conversion, and at any other time between when it was rendered "inaccessible" (when? how? why?) and when it was converted. Anyone care to take a shot at fixing that odd section? Foxmulder 20:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, I figured out what was going on with the John Hancock Tower sentence and tried to fix it. I guess somebody was trying to say that it was no longer easily the tallest tower in Boston, just the tallest tower in Boston. Confusing way of putting it, though.
