Sitting on the corner of Arlington and Boylston streets, the Arlington Building was mostly known by Bostonians as the longtime former home of the Shreve Crump & Low Jewelry Store.
It was demolished with the adjacent buildings (I could not find a date for these) to build a new modern glass block. It sat empty for a years before demolishment so that the owner could find the “ideal” office tenents for the new building.

This was Japan's first office building, constructed in 1894 based on the design of a British architect. Although it was demolished in 1968 and a high-rise building was erected on the site, it was rebuilt in 2009 using the same materials and concepts as the original 19th-century structure and now serves as an art museum.
