One Charles Center, International Style office building in Downtown Baltimore, United States.
The 23-story glass and aluminum structure rises 82 meters above Charles Street, featuring a T-shaped floor plan with recessed glass walls under support columns.
Completed in 1962 by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, One Charles Center marked the beginning of Baltimore's downtown urban renewal following World War II.
The building represents a shift in Baltimore's architectural landscape, introducing modernist principles through its minimalist design and functional approach.
Located near the Charles Center Metro Station, the building offers versatile office spaces with elevators positioned on both sides of the central core.
The structure combines brown anodized aluminum, dark-tinted glass, and marble materials, establishing a stark contrast with neighboring 19th-century buildings.
