If you want the vibrant urban experience that downtown living can bring, look no further than Silo Point condominiums in the Baltimore neighborhood of Locust Point, home to historic Fort McHenry.

Once the site of the Archer Daniels Midland grain elevator, today the 24-story Silo Point condominium tower rises above Baltimore’s Harbor to mark a new era in modern living.

Constructed in 1923, the B&O Railroad grain terminal was the biggest and fastest grain elevator in the world.  This beacon of International commerce jutted 290 feet into the air.  The grain terminal was the pulse of the world’s agricultural market in the new age of industrialism.  Every year, nearly 10 miles of conveyor belt carried 3.8 million bushels of grain from rail cars to transatlantic cargo ships.  These vessels transported the grain to ports all over the world.
