We entered this (office-looking) building, asked if there was a rooftop seeing, but the answer was "No you mean the Prudential Center" ... we walked overthere and the rooftop was closed because of the misty weather :-(
It's 60 floors.

This striking I.M. Pei edifice, famous for its beauty and infamous for falling glass panes, is Boston's tallest building. After terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the popular 60th-floor observatory was permanently closed due to security concerns.

It is a beautiful glass building right in the center of Boston close to Copley Place, Trinity church and the Back Bay Amtrak station. On sunny days you can see the city's reflection on the sides of the building. Georges!
