I remember when the Hancock Tower in Boston had windows falling out all the time. The facade was dotted with lots of plywood sheets. They eventually solved that problem, but IIRC it took some time.

The John Hancock building in Boston earned its moniker “The Plywood Palace”. The whole situation was a black eye for a building leased by, and named for, an insurance company.

The Hancock Tower was the first thing I thought of. I remember visiting a friend in Boston at that time and it was the talk of the town.

What a memory! I’d completely forgotten about the Hancock glass.
