The Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill Federal Building is an administrative center of the U.S. federal government in Boston, Massachusetts. Named for former Massachusetts congressman and House of Representatives Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, the building houses the New England regional offices of numerous federal agencies, e.g. the Social Security Administration, the Peace Corps, Boston Passport Agency, etc. It is located at 10 Causeway Street.HistoryBuilt in 1986, the building is named after Thomas Phillip "Tip" O'Neill, Jr. (1912-1994), Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1977 to 1987. It replaced the Madison Hotel (formerly Hotel Manger, from the building's opening in 1930 to 1958), a buff-brick Art Deco landmark that hosted visiting NBA and NHL teams when they challenged the Boston Celtics basketball team and the Boston Bruins hockey team in the adjacent Boston Garden. The Beatles also stayed at the Madison Hotel when in town for a Boston Garden concert in 1964. By the 1970s, many of the hotel's 400-plus rooms were housing homeless and low-income people. The Madison closed in 1976 and was imploded on May 15, 1983.

The Great Molasses Flood, also known as the Boston Molasses Disaster or the Great Boston Molasses Flood, occurred on January 15, 1919, in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States. A large molasses storage tank burst, and a wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35mph, killing 21 and injuring 150. The event has entered local folklore, and for decades afterward residents claimed that on hot summer days the area still smelled of molasses.FloodThe disaster occurred at the Purity Distilling Company facility on January 15, 1919. The temperature had risen above 40F, climbing rapidly from the frigid temperatures of the preceding days.Molasses can be fermented to produce rum and ethanol, the active ingredient in other alcoholic beverages and a key component in the manufacturing of munitions. The stored molasses was awaiting transfer to the Purity plant situated between Willow Street and what is now named Evereteze Way, in Cambridge.At about 12:30 in the afternoon near Keany Square, at 529 Commercial Street, a molasses tank 50ft tall, 90ft in diameter, and containing as much as 2,300,000USgal, collapsed. Witnesses variously reported that as it collapsed they felt the ground shake and heard a roar, a long rumble similar to the passing of an elevated train (coincidentally, with a line of that type close by), a tremendous crashing, a deep growling, or a thunderclap-like bang!, and as the rivets shot out of the tank, a machine-gun-like rat-tat-tat sound.
