The Compton Building is a historic building at 159, 161-175 Devonshire Street and 18-20 Arch Street in Boston, Massachusetts. The eleven-story Classical Revival office tower was built in 1902–03 to a design by Henry Forbes Bigelow of Winslow & Bigelow.

It was connected by internal connections to the adjacent International Trust Company Building in 1961, when the two buildings were under common ownership.[2] The building now houses the Club Quarters Hotel.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
