225 Franklin Street, commonly referred to as the State Street Bank Building, is a prominent office skyscraper situated in Boston's Financial District. Finished in 1966, this structure stands 33 stories tall and is tied for the 27th tallest building in Boston, sharing this position with 33 Arch Street. The architectural design was crafted by F.A. Stahl & Associates, and the building was among the earliest skyscrapers to emerge following the completion of the Prudential Tower in 1964. Its name originated from the notable "State Street Bank" signage that once adorned its rooftop, which has since been removed; a comparable sign was subsequently placed on One Lincoln Street.
In 2009, the legal firm Fish & Richardson revealed intentions to move its headquarters from this building to One Marina Park located in South Boston, with the relocation scheduled for the third quarter of 2010.
