One Devonshire Place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One Devonshire Place is a modern skyscraper in the Government Center neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts directly across from One Boston Place. Built in 1983, it is tied with Harbor Towers 2 and the Saltonstall Building as Boston's 29th-tallest building, standing 121 m (396 ft) tall, and housing 42 floors.
The building is mixed-use, with 8 floors of offices and 35 of residential space (including a basement). The building is built on two levels, with the Washington Street side a full story higher than the Devonshire side. There is an open driveway passing through the bottom level between these streets, a rarity for a skyscraper.

[edit] Trivia
Devonshire is the name of a county in England. It is however not used in common language anymore and is referred to simply as Devon. Devonshire still features in old names or titles (eg. The Duke of Devonshire).
