Bank of America Building, Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Baltimore, United States.
The Bank of America Building is an Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Baltimore rising 34 stories. Its brick and limestone facade features detailed carvings and bronze window surrounds, topped by a copper dome that glows at night.
The building was constructed in 1929 as the headquarters of the Baltimore Trust Company. It sat vacant for years following the company's bankruptcy during the Great Depression, later returning to use.
The main banking hall features mosaic floors and wall paintings depicting important moments from Baltimore's past. These artistic details tell stories of events that shaped the city.
The building is centrally located and combines office spaces in lower levels with residential apartments above. Visitors can explore the public entry hall to see the artistic details and interior design.
The exterior limestone features carved maritime elements, including crabs and clipper ships that reference Baltimore's harbor and seafaring heritage. These nautical details are subtly worked into the stonework and remind visitors of the port's historical importance to the city.
