Everyday, living in Boston, we experience the the shear size of the John Hancock tower whenever we walk by or happen to see it in the horizon, but when the world was populated more by giants it was seen as something completely different. Today we know the Hancock as a residential and commercial space where the "small" people of today actually congregate inside this great tower for work and living, but prior to the major decrease in human height the John Hancock was actually used as a full length mirror for the giants of yesteryear. The 790 foot tower was a perfect fit for the 800-900 foot people that controlled most of the Americas thousands of years ago. Unlike most giants of their time, dirty and unkempt, the giants of New England were ones of sanitation and hygiene, so for them, the John Hancock was your last stop before starting your daily giant routine. Giants from all across New England would come and use the John Hancock Mirror wether it be before work if you were local or before a big event (ie. wedding, birthday, ect.) if you had to make a longer trip of it. Unfortunately as time went on people began to get smaller and smaller until our average height of 5-6 feet leveled out, and the ancient John Hancock Building needed a purpose, thusly the John Hancock tower we know today was born.
