Description
Close view of the front façade, depicting entry; Like his first building in Baltimore, One Charles Center, it is a free-standing tower set on a platform. This reinforced concrete structure was designed with the character of the neighborhood in mind. Thus, due to wide horizontal window openings and the use of traditional brick, its height of thirteen residential stories seems less noticeable in an area of moderate-sized apartment house and individual homes.
