Architects working in this city can win the Harleston Parker Medal, which Le Corbusier won for his only commission in the U.S., the Carpenter Center. This city's first skyscraper was the Ames Tower. One Romanesque church designed by H.H. Richardson in this city houses Saint-Gauden's Statue of Phillips Brooks and La Farge's Christ in Majesty window. Another building in this city had its slotted [*] trapezoidal plan modified lest it cast Trinity Church in shadow. That building in this city was nicknamed the "Plywood Palace" because all its windows kept falling off, and another is topped by a grasshopper-shaped weathervane. For 10 points, identify this city, home to I.M. Pei's John Hancock Towe
