Baltimore has some truly amazing buildings. Just around the corner from the hotel is a beautiful structure, which I just researched (yay, Google!). It is apparently the Baltimore Trust Company Building, which was built in 1929. It is #8 on this list: Built To Last: Ten Enduring Landmarks of Baltimore’s Central Business District.
This morning, I was looking for a quick breakfast and walked by the B&O Railroad Company Headquarters Building (#9 on the list above). It's breathtaking (and the tiny little photos on the web site don't do it justice)-- I'm kicking myself because I didn't bring the digital camera on this trip. More information is available in this excerpt from the Historic American Buildings Survey (Acrobat Reader required).
Saw an interesting-looking tower during the cab ride back to the hotel. I wish that I had more time to wander. So many things to explore: the B & O Railroad Museum, the American Dime Museum, the streetcar museum, the nation's official dental museum (is it safe?), and many, many more…
