Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower
Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower, Clock tower in downtown Baltimore, United States.
The Renaissance Revival tower reaches 289 feet with four massive clock faces displaying BROMO-SELTZER letters instead of numbers at each cardinal direction.
Commissioned by Isaac Edward Emerson and completed in 1911, the structure remained the tallest building in Baltimore until the 1930s.
The Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts transformed the former office spaces into studios where artists create and exhibit their works.
Visitors can tour the clock room, explore the Emerson Glass Museum on the 15th floor, and observe the largest four-dial gravity clock mechanism.
The tower originally featured a 51-foot rotating blue bottle on its top, illuminated by 314 lights visible from 20 miles across Baltimore harbor.
