He > rose to architectural stardom with a building that charms Copley > Square–Trinity Church. Richardson launched his firm in 1874 after winning the > commission to build Trinity Church. It was completed in 1877 and the firm > that was started by Richardson continues to this day, 150 years later, as > Shepley Bulfinch. > > Some of Boston’s most iconic buildings were designed by Shepley Bulfinch over > the past 150 years (several are Local Landmarks!) Boston is lucky to have > these places grace our city streets. This self-guided tour highlights a few > places from Downtown to Copley Square and beyond. > > The route follows our own walking tour that highlights the shifting > architectural landscape of Boston while tracing the evolving work of Shepley > Bulfinch.
