The Hancock, is a 62-story, 790-foot skyscraper in Boston. The tower was designed by Henry N. Cobb of the firm I. M. Pei & Partners and was completed in 1976. 

It earned the nickname "Plywood Palace" after a design flaw caused panes of glass to pop out of place crashing down into the streets below. The missing panels were replaced with plywood. 

My Dad helped build the Hancock as an ironworker, he said there is a system of weights on top of the building to balance it in the wind.
