Glad to hear you had a good time. Very nice pics. I haven't been to the observation deck in a long time. Baltimore's a fun place. You'll have to come for a weekend next time.
The building with the dome is City Hall.
Here's some info on the clock tower from wikipedia:
The
Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower was erected in 1911 at the corner of Eutaw and Lombard Streets in
Baltimore, Maryland. It was designed by
Joseph Evans Sperry and was constructed by
Bromo-Seltzer inventor "Captain" Isaac E. Emerson.
[2] It was the tallest building in Baltimore from 1911 until 1923. The design of the tower along with the original factory building at its base was inspired by the
Palazzo Vecchio in
Florence, Italy, which was seen by Emerson during a tour of Europe in 1900.
[3] Systems engineering for the building's original design was completed by
Henry Adams. The factory has since been replaced with a firehouse.
From street-level to rooftop, the tower stands 288.7 feet (88.0 metres) high,
[4][5][6] and was originally adorned with a 51 foot (15.5 metre) tall Bromo-Seltzer bottle,
[7][8] glowing blue and rotating. Due to structural concerns however, the bottle was removed in 1936.
The tower was virtually abandoned in 2002, but in early 2007 the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts began renovations to transform the building into 33 artists' studios.
