A nice blend

This part of the city did a good job of preserving the old and blending in the new. The tip of the steeple from the Park Street church is still visible in the back if you zoom in. The new glass edifice is Boston's Millennium Tower, built on the site of Filene's at Downtown Crossing.

Height Afar

Back when Park Street Church was tall. Presumably the "New" State House flagpole far beyond? The modern view from this spot is more restricted.
