39 West Lexington

39 West Lexington, previously the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Building, is a historic office building located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is the former headquarters of the old Consolidated Gas, Light and Electric Power Company of Baltimore City, which was a merger at the turn of the 20th century of the former century old Gas Light Company of Baltimore with several other formerly competing gas and electric power companies which had risen in the late 19th century, to form a single metropolitan wide unified utility system. In 1955, the old cumbersome Consolidated title was jettisoned and the utility rebranded as the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BG&E). History and Construction A 21-story skyscraper designed by the Boston and Baltimore-based architectural firm of Parker, Thomas and Rice, and was constructed in 1916. Standing at 88 m (289 ft) it was tied with the Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower from 1916 to 1923 as the tallest building in Baltimore. It was constructed with a structural steel skeleton and tile arch flooring structure. The exterior is clad with gray granite and gray and white marble from the first through third floors (including the mezzanine) and glazed terra cotta in a Beaux-Arts Classical Style. The building includes sculptures at the fourth floor representing "knowledge", "light", "heat" and "power." Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. A smaller addition was built in 1966, designed by Fisher, Nes, Campbell & Associates. It was purchased in 2006 and reopened in 2007 as luxury apartments complete with two penthouse levels by Southern Management Companies.

Baltimore Harbor Light

The Baltimore Harbor Light, officially Baltimore Light and historically Baltimore Harbor Lighthouse is a privately owned caisson lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. First lit in 1908, it sits at the mouth of the Magothy River, marking the channel which leads northwest to the opening of the Patapsco River, which then leads into the Baltimore harbor. The light is located adjacent to the mouth of the Magothy River. At the time of its construction, it was the world's tallest caisson lighthouse due to the deep sediment of its location. It was the world's first nuclear powered lighthouse for a brief time in the 1960s. History Although a lighthouse had been requested at the site since 1890, it was not until 1904 that construction actually began. In October of that year a violent storm struck the construction site, upturning the caisson and sending it to the bottom of the Bay. The contractor defaulted on the work, and it was not until late in 1905 that construction could resume. The lens was finally installed and the light lit in 1908. It was the last lighthouse to be constructed on the Chesapeake. In May 1964, the Baltimore Light became the world's first, and only American lighthouse, powered by nuclear power, as a test of the SNAP-7B 60 Watt radioisotope thermoelectric generator. One year later the RTG was removed and a conventional electric generator was installed. Currently the lighthouse is solar-powered. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Baltimore Light Station on December 2, 2002. In June 2006, Baltimore Light was sold at auction to private owners by the General Services Administration for $260,000; the U.S. Coast Guard maintains rights to operate a light on the structure. The new owner, BHL, LLC of Annapolis, was a partnership of private citizens, 4 couples. The terms of sale dictate that the Coast Guard be granted access to the lighthouse for occasional checkups on the still-active light. BHL created a website with history and other information about the lighthouse.

Phare de Baltimore Harbor

Le phare de Baltimore Harbor (en anglais : Baltimore Harbor Light) est un phare offshore à caisson situé à l'embouchure de la Magothy River (en) en baie de Chesapeake dans le Comté d'Anne Arundel, Maryland. Il marque le chenal qui mène au nord-ouest jusqu'à l'estuaire de fleuve Patapsco et conduit ensuite au port de Baltimore. Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 2 décembre 2002 sous le n° 02001417. Historique Bien qu'un phare ait été demandé sur le site depuis 1890, ce n'est qu'en 1904 que les travaux de construction ont commencé. En octobre de la même année, un violent orage s'est abattu sur le chantier de construction, renversant le caisson et l'envoyant au fond de la baie. Ce n'est que plus tard, en 1905, que la construction a pu reprendre. La lentille de Fresnel de cinquième ordre a finalement été installée et fut mise en service en 1908. Il s'agissait du dernier phare à avoir été construit dans la baie de Chesapeake. En mai 1964, le phare de Baltimore Harbor est devenu le premier et le seul phare américain à énergie nucléaire, à titre d'essai du Générateur thermoélectrique à radioisotope SNAP-7B de 60 watts. Un an plus tard, il a été retiré et un générateur électrique conventionnel a été installé. Actuellement, le phare est alimenté par l'énergie solaire. Au moment de sa construction, il s'agissait du plus haut phare à caisson au monde. En juin 2006, le bâtiment a été vendu aux enchères à des propriétaires privés par l'Administration des services généraux pour 260.000 dollars et les garde-côtes américains continuent d'entretenir cette lumière en activité. Description Le phare est une maison octogonale en brique de 11,5 m de haut, avec galerie centrée sur le toit et petite lanterne, montée sur un caisson cylindrique en fonte. Le bâtiment est blanc, la lanterne est noire et le caisson est rouge. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 16 m, un éclat blanc toutes les 2.5 secondes. Sa portée est de 7 milles nautiques (environ 13 km). Il possède aussi un feu à secteurs rouges couvrant les hauts-fonds voisins avec une portée de 5 milles nautiques (environ 9 km). Il n'est plus équipé d'une corne de brume. Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-034 ; USCG : 2-8035 ; Admiralty : J2228 .

Baltimore National Cemetery

Baltimore National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located along Maryland Route 144 on both sides of the boundary between the neighborhoods of Beechfield in Baltimore City and Catonsville in Baltimore County. It encompasses 72.2 acres (29.2 ha). As of 2022, the cemetery has nearly 46,000 interments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. A kiosk located on the side of the cemetery's administration building lists the names of veterans and dependents buried in this and two other cemeteries: Annapolis National Cemetery and Loudon Park National Cemetery. The kiosk also provides map locations for each grave. History The area of the Baltimore National Cemetery was once part of an elevated site in Baltimore, referred to as early as 1750 as the Cloud-Capped estate. It was originally owned by the Baltimore Company and Charles Carroll of Carrollton. In 1890 it was acquired by Blanchard and Susan Randall. When the nearby Loudon Park National Cemetery was deemed full, the War Department surveyed the area for a new site. In 1936 the federal government took possession of the land for a cost of $95,000, and began converting the estate to "Little Arlington". The old mansion was demolished, fences were put up, roads were constructed, and landscaping was done as part of a Works Progress Administration to invest in infrastructure during the Great Depression. The first interment took place on December 22, 1936, but the cemetery was not formally dedicated until May 30, 1941. In 2019, The Durable Restoration Company provided restoration of the exterior Tudor style stone facade and slate roof. Notable monuments The memorial area of the cemetery has monuments representing each of the six United States Marine Corps divisions from World War II. Notable interments Medal of Honor recipients Fireman, First Class Loddie Stupka (1878–1946), Medal of Honor recipient for peacetime service in the United States Navy.

Histoire Le terrain du cimetière national de Baltimore est une partie d'un site élevé de Baltimore, mentionné dès 1750 comme la que le domaine Cloud Capped. Il est initialement détenu par la Baltimore Company et Charles Carroll de Carrollton. En 1890, il est acquis par Blanchard et Susan Randall. Lorsque le cimetière national du parc de Loudon à proximité est jugé complet, le département de la Guerre étudie la région pour trouver un nouveau site. En 1936, le gouvernement fédéral acquiert le terrain pour un coût de 95 000 $, et commencé à le transformer en « petit Arlington ». La vieille maison est démolie, des barrières sont mises en place, des routes sont construites, et l'aménagement paysager est réalisé dans le cadre d'un Works Progress Administration pour investir dans l'infrastructure au cours de la grande dépression. La première inhumation a lieu le 22 décembre 1936, mais le cimetière n'est pas formellement consacré avant le 30 mai 1941.

Baltimore Public Works Museum

The Baltimore Public Works Museum was located at 751 Eastern Avenue, Pier 7 of the Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland. This museum provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how a large city provides public works utility services to its citizens. Exhibits also explained street lighting, road maintenance, and trash removal. An outdoor sculpture called Streetscape was an intricate model of a network of phone lines, street lights, storm drains and pipes for water, gas, and sewage disposal. The building housing this display is an operating sewage pumping station built in 1912. The museum opened in 1982 and was operated under the auspices of the Baltimore Department of Public Works. On February 3, 2010, the city announced that the museum would close immediately due to budget constraints. Since then, various efforts have been made to re-open the Baltimore Public Works Museum. Attendees of the centennial celebration event of the city's Montebello Water Filtration Plant in 2015 were given blue bags by the Baltimore City Department of Public Works that had printed on them www.PublicWorksMuseum.org, a website associated with a group called "Friends of the Public Works Museum" whose goal "is to reopen the Public Works Museum", though by 2017 that did not lead to a valid website. In 2016, the building was made a Baltimore City Landmark. In 2018, a new effort was announced to renovate the facility and open an expanded museum called the "Public Works Experience". The Public Works Experience Board of Directors is working to rejuvenate the museum into a hands-on, STEM-focused engagement to help visitors learn about the importance of public works. The facility is now open to the public on every Saturday, from 10am - 2pm. References External links Public Works Experience
