Don't these types of article usually have an infobox?
- Done
Boston Transit Building and Tower Records Building could be created as redirects to this article, especially as you state they are legitimate "also known as" names.
- Done
However, it's worth noting that I don't see where in the article these alternative names are referenced?
- Done
"An additional story" in the lead you didn't previously mention how many stories were originally built.
- Done
"The west part of the Back Bay was filled in the 1870s." don't understand what "filled" means here.
- Done The bay was quite literally filled with gravel to create new land. I've added a wikilink to clarify.
" Boylston Street Subway" subway not capitalised.
- Not done Reliable sources use the capitalization.
  - Should move our own article then. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 20:02, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - I strongly agree (I feel that the RM that resulted in the move to the current name was done in bad faith), but that's probably out of the scope of this review. The sources for the section (particularly Clarke, who's the gold-standard source for all things streetcar in Boston) use the capitalized name, so I've kept it as such.

"In 2007, the lower three floors were expected to sell for $45-55 million." en-dash for range. And, did they sell? I'm not clear what this means.
- Done Fixed that dash and found a ref for the sale.
Online resources should have publication date or access date as a minimum.

"MIT Libraries - 360 Newbury Street" en-dash.

"Government buildings completed in 1919" category, only mention of "government" in the article!
- BERy was government-controlled after 1918.

That's all I have. On hold. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:51, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
