The Boston Edison Electric Illuminating Company building is a historic utility company building at 25–39 Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts.
The seven-story Beaux Arts building was constructed in 1906 to a design by Winslow & Bigelow and enlarged in 1922 to a design by Bigelow & Wadsworth. It served as the headquarters of the Boston Edison Illuminating Company until the 1950s. It is an early skyscraper with Beaux Arts detailing and made of limestone.[1]
