I had always seen this building - the Erich Lindemann Mental Health Center - in downtown Boston, but never really looked closer. It's tucked away in between some more "popular" or well-explored places, but I saw a few IG posts featuring it and knew it was now or never to explore before I shipped out.
It's been called an architectural marvel - a modern concrete structure attached to the Department of Health and actually unfinished. There are snaking staircases, curves and sharp angles, and hand chiseled rippled walls. It's initial design was to match that of the starkly modern (and massively ugly) City Hall and the style of other buildings in Government Center.
It's amazing the mix of architecture in downtown Boston. One block can hold a building from 1776 and another is a concrete monstrosity! I will miss that contrast in White Plains for sure!

I love exploring unique buildings in our city. This is a great perspective.
Very cool!
That last picture reminds me of a frog! I love and will miss your Boston posts! Hopefully I'll have some to share!
What an awesome building!
I was going to say that the last photo reminds me of a frog too! I saw that someone else had that same thought. What neat architectural details.
These are really cool photos, Tamar! Isn't it interesting to look at very different styles of architecture sitting side by side? I wish you much luck in White Plains!
