Boston City Hall frequently ranks among the US's ugliest buildings. Brian M. Sirman seeks to answer a common question for contemporary viewers: How did this happen? In a lively narrative filled with big personalities and newspaper accounts, he argues that this structure is more than a symbol of Boston's modernization; it acted as a catalyst for political, social, and economic change.
