On February 10, 1969 Boston's new City Hall opened to much fanfare and controversy. A week-long program of ceremonies and events, which included performances by the Boston Pops-led by Arthur Fiedler-and the Boston Ballet, was capped by a champagne toast. As a memento, a metal lapel pin was given to attendees to mark the occasion. To mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of Boston's City Hall, a building which is now recognized as an iconic example of the Brutalist style, architect and designer Chris Grimley, a Founding Principal of OverUnder and Director of the firm's pinkcomma gallery, has created an exclusive reproduction of the pin made from an original provided by Joyce Linehan, the Mayor's Chief of Policy.
