Part of the Building Baltimore Lecture Series: The B&O’s Role in the Making of Charm City
At 12:30 PM, local historian Cathie “CZ” Zimmerman will deliver a lecture about Silo Point in relation to her book Silo Point: The New B&O Grain Elevator at Locust Point, which discusses the old B&O Grain Elevator that has been an icon on the Baltimore Harber skyline for decades. More recently, the B&O Grain Elevator has been converted into a luxury high-rise condominium known as Silo Point. During her lecture, Zimmerman will explore the history of this iconic building and paint the picture of its story.
There will be a Q&A segment following the lecture.
