Description

Baltimore is also world-famous for its crab cakes, Johns Hopkins University, and the Orioles baseball team, but there’s a lot more to this Chesapeake Bay city. With a lot of unique architecture, sprawling city parks, full of life harbor, and colorful neighborhoods like Little Italy and Greektown. Photographs showcase probably the most city’s best-loved landmarks, including Druid Hill Park, the Baltimore Zoo, Pratt House, and the Patterson Park Pagoda. Baltimore secured its place in American history when Francis Scott Key wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner” in regards to the bombardment of Fort McHenry. More than a hundred years later, the fort itself continues to be one of the crucial city’s favorite landmarks. Pier 4 in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor offers a visual depiction of the city’s evolution. It all started its life as Dugan’s Wharf and later became the Merchant & Miners Co. Pier in 1910. Now, Pier 4 is the National Aquarium, home to more than 10,000 animals and a tropical rainforest exhibit. Baltimore has its share of impressive architecture, including the beloved Bromo-Seltzer Tower. Compare its early 20th century profile—complete with a 51-foot revolving replica of the blue Bromo-Seltzer bottle—to its up to date incarnation.
