Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

      On April 14, 2003, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") the independent
accountants for Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the "Company"), informed the
Company that it was declining to stand for reelection as the Company's
independent accountants.

      The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the financial statements for
the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle.

      In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and
through April 14, 2003, there have been no disagreements with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the
financial statements for such years.

      During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 14, 2003, there
have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

      The Registrant has requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it
with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the
above statements. A copy of such letter, dated April 18, 2003, is filed as
Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.

Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

      (a)   Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.

            Not applicable.

      (b)   Pro Forma Financial Information.

            Not applicable.

      (c)   Exhibits.

            16.1. Letter from PWC to the Company regarding PWC's concurrence
                  with the statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
