Toile de Baltimore, Almost Final!

After a lot of great input from some trusted advisors – and many thanks to you all – we’ve finally come up with the semi-final design for the Toile de Baltimore. This is where I started:

Then I took it to this:I decided it needed one more building to balance it, and so I had to think of an iconic building in Baltimore that would touch another aspect of the city. After attending a baseball game one evening I came up with… No, not the trend-setting Camden Yards, but the B&O Roundhouse, which you can see from the concourse of the ballpark.

The B&O Roundhouse is the largest 22-sided building in the US, which is a great trivia question. It’s also located in a different part of the city than the other three buildings. The history of the B&O Railroad parallels the building of the city of Baltimore and is interconnected with many of the prominent buildings here, including the glamorous Evergreen House. So, here’s the semi-final version of the Toile de Baltimore…

Drumroll……

The four buildings are Homewood House The Patterson Park Pagoda Mount Vernon Place and the B&O Roundhouse.
