TOWER RECORDS BUILDING RENOVATION
360 Newbury Street, Back Bay
Architect: Frank Gehry, Schwartz/Silver
Date: 1989

When Gehry spiffed up a run-of-the-mill yellow-brick building with bold awnings and dramatic ornamentation on the top floor, he created stylish new digs for the record store – and helped create a grand gateway to Newbury Street. The challenge has been finding long-term tenants.
