The Berkeley Building was built on Boylston Street in 1905. As a primary thoroughfare of the fashionable Back Bay, Boylston Street became central to the area�s commercial and cultural activities. The buildings built upon it reflect the varying architectural styles prevalent throughout the 20th century. The Berkeley Building is an important Beaux-Arts contribution to the Back Bay�s streetscape, and one of the most outstanding works of architects Codman and Despradelle.
