Today, we are taking part in a new blog, CITY DAILY PHOTO,

and also one we have enjoyed for some time now, IMAGE-IN-ING.
Direct links to both of these can be found under the image below and on our sidebar.
They afford bloggers, we pet bloggers, an opportunity ~ to spread our paws, so to speak ~
and show a little different side of our photography, choosing photos from our home towns, our other lives.
You may want to visit these blog hops, take part from time to time, share a new adventure.
Driving on our way to somewhere, a friend paused long enough for me to snap a picture of The Emerson Tower, now best known as the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower, in downtown Baltimore, on the West side. We're featuring it here, for our first time to take part in the City Daily Photo blog hop, the September photo theme being "vanishing point".
Built between 1907-1911, until 1923 the tower held claim to being the tallest building in Baltimore, vanishing up toward the cloud filled sky, and even today stands tall in our city. The Seth Thomas clock at its top has four faces looking East, West, North and South.
The tower was abandoned in 2002 until early 2007 when philanthropists began fundraising and worked to transform it into the Arts Tower it is today. In 1973, the tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
how great the it is still there... and how hard people worked in old times to build such things...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've seen it but honestly, I can't remember it. Our family left Baltimore when I was 7.
ReplyDeleteWow, that tower looks enormous! Good work keeping it preserved!
ReplyDeleteAwesome architecture.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful tower. I am glad it was renovated as it would have been such a pity to leave it to deteriorate.
ReplyDeleteMom was so busy driving and trying to stay on the right road, we didn't see much of Baltimore when we passed through. What a beautiful piece of architecture!
ReplyDeletePhotography is so much fun, especially when you capture something terrific.
ReplyDeleteAnn I'm so happy to see that beautiful tower is listed as historic.

ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful tower. I love seeing around Baltimore. I use to give seminars in Baltimore back in the day, it was one of my favorite places to go.
ReplyDeleteThat must be a wonder to behold.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a beautiful building, it’s nice to see such places restored and made useful again.
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive landmark! Good thing to be saved, renewed and made historical so no one can ruin it.
ReplyDeleteI love old buildings - full of character, while so many building I see going up today look like Soviet era monstrosities. Thank you for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2025/09/welcome-to-badlands.html
