Dating back to 1911, the Emerson Bromo Seltzer tower is credited to Captain Isaac Emerson. A 15 storey structure, it was stylistically inspired by Florence's Palazzo Vecchio tower and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Until 1936, a 51-foot replica of the famed blue bottle revolved on top of the building, illuminated by 596 lights. Today, a blue glow emanates from the tower's cupola and the structure's four clock faces are illuminated at all times, allowing passersby to see the Bromo Seltzer letters that mark the time. The tower is also houses to an arts facility, showcasing exhibitions by resident as well as other artists.

A modern marvel in its own right, Baltimore Penn Station is one of the busiest train stations in the United States. A 1911 construction, this beaux-arts style structure is now one of the most convenient and well-organized rail stations in the entire country. A fairly large space, this building can be considered a work of art due to its marvelous architectural designs of high ceilings with stained glass roofs, vintage pillars, and ample lighting. This station makes commuters' lives easier with cutting-edge technology, including multiple televisions displaying train routes and timings, automated ticket-vending machines, several payphones, and a steady internet connection throughout the building.
This observation area, on the 27th floor of the World Trade Center, offers panoramic views of the Baltimore Harbor. There is also a museum that displays artifacts from Baltimore's past and a gift shop featuring the famous Maryland crab. Although school groups and tours are invited to schedule an appointment to experience the Top of the World Observation Level, the space may not be reserved for private functions.
