Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Building, Beaux-Arts office building in downtown Baltimore, United States.

The 21-floor Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Building features gray granite, marble finishes, and terra cotta elements on its exterior structure.

Completed in 1916, this structure served as headquarters for the Consolidated Gas, Light and Electric Power Company until its rebranding to BG&E in 1955.

Four sculptures on the fourth floor represent knowledge, light, heat, and power, representing the fundamental elements of energy production and distribution.

The building stands 88 meters tall at 39 West Lexington Street, maintaining its status on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003.

Following extensive renovations in 2007, the former utilities headquarters transformed into residential spaces, including two floors of penthouses.
