The building our office is in used to be part of the New England Confectionary COmpany (NECCO) - famous for inventing the Conversation Hearts Valentine's candies. I do have an SVG (in a different style) showing the full building, but it's really not a tourist attraction or super historically relevant (unless you like candy lol.) It's also in the area where the movie The Departed was filmed (if you've seen the movie you'll recognize it) in one of the ending scenes - um, not a very positive scene, though o_O
It's also near where some of the scenes from Surrogates was filmed with Bruce Willis. Over near luckies.
However we do have a local landmark right nearby! The Boston Tea Party Ships are right by the office, and if attendees are walking over from South Station (highly likely) then you'll see it every day even if you don't visit because you have to cross the bridge across Fort Point Channel in full view of it.
See, If I were investing Boston's image overall, I'd have tried to get castle island iconified https://media.timeout.com/images/101593617/imag e.jpg as it's got nice regular shapes. Or maybe the more historically significant Dorchester heights http://bit.ly/2sF0HX9%C2%A0But how often do you go for a stroll down L St. away from downtown ;-)
We kind of consider that the local landmark near our office; on the engineering side of the building our conference rooms are named after types of tea ;-) The main meeting space is named matcha!
American Pirated or British East India tea? :-P
