It is the "New" John Hancock building at Copley Place.  Designed by I.M.
Pei, construction was completed, I think, circa 1976.  They had enormous
problems with the glass skin; window panes kept popping out and crashing
to the street and the tower spent much of its first years swaddled in
scaffolding.  The window problem eventually was solved by replacing the
gaskets or some such engineering miracle.

I know this is Boston 1980, but could someone help me with the name of 
the building and where it might have been taken from: Alz?
