The JFK Federal Building Does Not Do Our 35th President Justice

For the past two and a half months, I have been working in the John F. Kennedy Federal Building in Boston.

The building, of course, was constructed in his honor of the 37th President following his assassination 53 years ago today.

Sad to say while JFK was of the '60's, I don't think '60's architecture is a fitting tribute to the man who inspired Camelot. I would describe this kind of architecture as neo-Stalinist - cold, austere, foreboding and devoid of idealism.

Simply put, the John F. Kennedy Federal Building doesn't do justice to our 35th President.
