With all the backlash, criticism, and ridicule over the decades, Boston City Hall was unfortunately named the fourth ugliest building in the world and one of the major Global Eyesores, according to Buildworld.

Why is Boston City Hall considered ugly? 

Architects at the time were trying their best to look at the future for the city which meant not including any classical and historical elements as part of the design. That being said, this makes city hall to truly fail how Boston is represented versus how other city halls would meet those expectations.

Boston City Hall is without a doubt an eyesore and will still receive the public criticism that it always has. Despite that, city business will still continue for the time being in the current building as they're no plans for any replacement.

Just recently, Only In Boston made a post that The Boston Landmarks Commission has announced it is designating Boston City Hall as an official local landmark. What does this mean? The building will never be torn down.
