Baltimore’s Shot Tower was the tallest building in the US from 1828-1846.
#OTD 1828: Phoenix Shot Tower is completed, making it the tallest structure in the US at the time. It is now the only remaining tower of three in Baltimore. Producing bullets until 1892, it is now a National Historic Landmark and museum under @CarrollMuseums #MDHistory pic.twitter.com/cYmD319Hue

Tours of Baltimore's iconic Phoenix Shot Tower have long been limited to the first two floors. But thanks to nearly $1 million in safety and infrastructural improvements by Plano-Coudon, visitors will soon get to make the climb to the top. https://t.co/OoAB4OtoD8
