This stunning building was built in 1892 and is in the National Register of Historic Places. We saw it when we walked towards Back Bay metro station. The building is also known as the Pledge of Allegiance Building because the Pledge of Allegiance was written and published there. The owner of the magazine The Youth's Companion (hence the name of the building) Daniel Ford commissioned the building for the magazine headquarters. Built from brown sandstone and matching brick, arched windows and heavily recessed and arched doors characterize the street facade. You should stand and check small details. To me its like mix of Romanesque Revival and Beaux-Arts style. It deserves attention when you walk on the street.
