177 Huntington (formerly the Christian Science Administration Building) is a 355-foot-tall (108 m) skyscraper located in the Christian Science Center in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The building, opened in 1973, originally served as the Christian Science world headquarters. In 2012, it was leased by Beacon Capital Partners, undergoing renovations soon after[6]. Current tenants include Northeastern University, as well as consulting and investment companies. In 2017, four peregrine falcons hatched in one of the building ledges[7].
