Skywalk Observatory Prudential Center. The Prudential Center’s Skywalk offers New England's only skyscraper observatory with breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of Boston and beyond!
The observatory in this unique landmark building offers engaging interactive exhibits that give visitors a real flavor of Boston’s distinctive culture and neighborhoods. You’ll leave with a greater understanding of the layout of Boston and the surrounding area, and an appreciation for the beauty (both natural and manmade) of this New England capitol city! The unique 40-minute ‘Acoustiguide Opus Touch’ self-guided player details the city's historic past and current sites as you stand and observe from 52 stories high. A multi-media movie theater features films including Wings over Boston and Dreams of Freedom that give context to what you’re seeing. Coincidentally, the Dreams of Freedom Immigration Museum is Boston's only educational immigration experience, and is a great way to learn about the city’s multiculturalism.

Anderson Cancer Center is getting ready to demolish, architect Karen Lantz sends in a few photos she took while on a mod-gawking expedition in September 2003. Last week the medical institution began knocking down the porte-cochere at the building’s Holcombe St. entrance — to allow workers to remove one of the few items being preserved from the building: a mural in the building’s lobby painted by Peter Hurd in 1952. Lantz, who’s a bit of a demolition expert herself (her piece-by-piece dismantling of a home in Ranch Estates was awarded Swamplot’s Best Teardown Award in 2009), includes a few views of the grand entrance to Houston’s first-ever corporate campus: The building was designed by Kenneth Franzheim and originally included a 27-acre campus with a pool, which Lantz — who grew up in Houston — remembers swimming in.

The relatively unarticulated (though well labeled) exterior towered above what was an unheated plaza-based mall, which was open to strong winds reflected downward by the building. Exaggerated concern for parking and security prevented street-level access, effectively cutting it off from the life of Boylston Street. As if to complete this terrible trifecta, in the 80s its observation deck was devoted to restaurant with a rotating dining and disco floor. In the early 90s the Prudential Center was sold and redeveloped by Boston Properties, and now houses a mall as upscale and specialized as anything you'd find in Generica. Upstairs is the very successful Top of the Hub, which is perhaps Boston's best restaurant view, where you can sit in far more comfortable surroundings, and have a cool beverage, with the option of dinner and jazz.
