Boston City Hall
The Boston City Hall is the town hall of Boston , the capital of Massachusetts . The building designed by the architects Kallmann McKinnell & Wood and Campbell, Aldrich & Nulty by Gerhard Kallmann and colleagues in the style of brutalism was built from 1963 to 1968 and is located in the Government Center of Boston. The design of the Boston City Hall and the plaza surrounding it have been met with very controversial public opinion and are still being discussed today. Mayor Thomas Menino , who has ruled since 1993, proposed in 2006 that the town hall be demolished, the property sold to private investors and a new one built elsewhere in South Boston . These plans were abandoned in December 2008 in the face of the recession.
