Summary[edit]

Description

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus and Cambridge, from the observation deck of Prudential Tower in Boston. The main buildings front on the Charles River Basin, in left center. Harvard Bridge crosses the Charles River at left. It continues as Massachusetts Avenue, diagonally at far left, to the center of Cambridge and Harvard University.

The tall building is Building 54, the Green Building, which houses earth sciences and several other departments. It was built in 1962-1964, and is 210 ft (90 m) high. It is the tallest building in Cambridge.

Ames Street comes onto Memorial Drive near the right edge of the photo. The L-shaped building right of Ames Street is Senior House, where I lived in 1955. East Campus houses are two buildings left of Ames Street, separated by a courtyard.

There are a number of new buildings behind the campus. I do not know whether they are MIT buildings or apartment buildings. I presume that they replaced industrial buildings which surrounded much of the MIT campus in the mid-1950s.
