The (Emerson) Bromo-Seltzer Tower in downtown Baltimore. Just gazing at her brings fast relief from headache and indigestion.Completed in 1911, it was the tallest building in Baltimore until 1923. Back in the day, the tower sported a 51-foot revolving, illuminated replica of the cobalt blue Bromo-Seltzer bottle. It was removed in 1936 due to structural concerns. The four clocks were installed by the Seth Thomas Clock company.The Bromo-Seltzer tower and original factory building were inspired by the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy (photo from Oct 2017).
