Publicity Building
The Publicity Building is a historic Class-B commercial office building located at 40-44 Bromfield Street in downtown Boston, Massachusetts.
Description and history
The nine-story, brick and limestone office building was designed by Arthur H. Bowditch and built in 1916. It is noted for its Beaux Arts styling and its largely intact cast-iron storefronts. Its name is supposedly derived from an early concentration of press and media-related businesses which occupied its upper floors. It underwent renovations in 1975.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 2003.
