It's a profoundly ugly building. The whole hulking slabs of inevitably discolored and gross-looking concrete look is really not good for a government building; it just looks seedy and corrupt and authoritarian. It gives off too many dystopian vibes, and makes me think of the police station in Mad Max or City 17 from HL2. Particularly in Boston, which has its own style and so many beautiful old buildings.
