Scope and content:

The Prudential Center is a group of buildings in downtown Boston that serves as an entertainment and business center; the project was intended to help revitalize Boston's downtown. Groundbreaking for the project occurred in 1959 and the grand opening was in 1965. Charles Luckman Associates designed the Center's showpiece, the Prudential Center, as well as other important buildings, such as the New England Merchants Bank Building and the Sheraton Boston Hotel.

This series contains memoranda, press releases, incoming and outgoing (usually copies) correspondence, telefaxes, meeting minutes, progress reports, photographs of architectural drawings, and architectural drawings. The series contains much information on costs, design problems, and relations between Prudential and Luckman Associates. Much of it is copies, filed for recordkeeping purposes, most likely for Charles Luckman's own personal use.

The original folder titles are noted at the beginning of the description of the folder contents, followed by a summary of the contents. If there was no folder title, this is noted in the description field.
