 Trinity Church and Hancock Building in Copley Sq by Ewingjr98 Located at Copley Square the old Trinity Church stands alongside the modern Hancock Building. The church was completed in 1887 and has long been known as one of Boston's most significant buildings from an architectural standpoint. Visitors are awestruck by the magnificent stained-glass windows which were created in various styles by some of Europe's best glass workshops. Did you know Trinity Church was built on a landfill and its foundation is supported by thousands of wood pilings driven through the trash into the solid clay beneath? Leave a Comment

Copley Square is bounded by the Boston Public Library on one end and Trinity Church and the Hancock Tower on the other. Boylston St runs along the northern edge. Inside the square are trees, statues, benches and, during the summer, a farmer's market on Tuesday/Friday. During this summer the residents of the square included several cows. Please see the related tip. . The square was named after the painter John Singleton Copley who lived from 1738-1815. While he is listed as an American, he was a supporter of the British Crown and moved to London in 1774, where he remained for the rest of his life. Leave a Comment

 Old and New by yooperprof H. H. Richardson's neo-Gothic masterpiece. Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1890) was one of America's greatest architects, and Trinity Church is regarded as his finest work. Created in the 1870s, Trinity inspired hordes of similar rounded arch designs in the last 19th century. More recently, I.M. Pei was given the daunting task of creating a skyscraper for Copley Square that would tower over Trinity. The result was the brilliant John Hancock building, one of the outstanding skyscrapers of the last thirty years. It's quite impressive how the Hancock Tower clearly honors Richardson's Church, while employing the glass curtain design which couldn't be more different. Leave a Comment

The Trinity Church reflecting in the John Hancock Tower makes a great photo and also depicts Boston's unique blend of the old and the new. This is a nice place to chill out. You're in the middle of everything here, just off of Newbury Street and very close to the Boston Common. Leave a Comment
