250 W Pratt - Abstract

250 W Pratt Street - Baltimore, MDWhen it comes to skyscrapers, Baltimore is an architecturally impaired city, but there are a few exceptions. This is one of them, one of my favorites in Baltimore, 250 W Pratt Street.

This 1986-vintage, 24-floor building was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. It's 360 feet tall (110 m), and its half-ziggurat profile and handsome banding make it a real standout any city would be proud the call its own.

Nice, Steve! I like the banding effect.

I think this would also look great as a high contrast B&W. I'll email a version of it that I made for fun.

Very interesting pattern Steve, At first glance it looked like something cut and pasted, then looking closer, it's just a great angle for that effect.

Nice pattern, and the angle gives a different feel.
