Virtual Tour of the Bromo Seltzer Art Tower
2020-10-16 13:00 - 2020-10-24 13:30

While few remember the slogan of the Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Company—“If you keep late hours for Society’s sake Bromo-Seltzer will cure that headache”—the iconic Bromo-Seltzer Tower has been a Baltimore landmark since its construction in 1911. At fifteen stories, the tower made the Bromo-Seltzer factory the tallest building in the city. The tower boasted a four-dial gravity clock that was the largest in the world (bigger, even, than London’s Big Ben) and was topped by a 51-foot revolving replica of the blue Bromo-Seltzer bottle, which was illuminated with 596 lights and could be seen 20 miles away. Due to structural concerns, the bottle was removed in 1936. The iconic design immediately secured the tower’s spot as a favorite of city residents and visitors alike. The tower was designed by Joseph Evans Sperry and built by Captain Isaac Emerson.
Also inside the Tower is the Emerson/Maryland Glass Museum which houses the largest collection of Bromo Seltzer and Maryland Glass bottles in existence. The Museum is on the 15th floor and is on loan from and curated by Ernest Dimler.
Since 2007 our studios have offered a creative space for a variety of artists, writers, photographers, architects, jewelers and more from all walks.
Their artistic skills gleaned from all over the world and some from our own cherished local prestigious arts institutions as well as self-taught. More than just a space to create, our artists enjoy interacting with guests to the tower, showcasing their work in their studios and in the common areas throughout the building.

“What’s that green roof peeking over the 28th Street Exit of I-83?”
If you have ever asked yourself this question, then this is the tour for you. The Vernon Pumping Station was built in 1931 to move water from Druid Lake and it continues to serve the Department of Public Works to this very day. Despite its demure location, the building packs an architectural punch complete with details like glazed terracotta, wrought iron railings, and bronze-faced doors. This rarely seen building is a great example of Baltimore’s enduring legacy of providing clean drinking water with beautiful architecture.

“SKYSCRAPERS - A Historic Survey of Design Goals and Methods” (SEI)
2020-10-01 12:00 - 13:00
Presented by Dr. Richard Furlong
P.E., Ph. D., Distinguished Member of ASCE, FACI
Professor Emeritus, The University of Texas at Austin
Receive 1.0 AIA LU/HSW

12Noon – 1PM EST

Presentation Topic:
This presentation discusses the evolving use of materials, technology and need for tall structures, beginning with American structures and ending with six of the world’s tallest buildings.
Speaker Biography:
D. Furlong obtained his BSCE from Southern Methodist University 1952 followed by 6 EIT years in St. Louis with McDonnell Aircraft and F. Ray Martin, Inc. He helped design about 40 bridges, a dozen buildings, while part time, and obtained MSCE from Washington University in 1957. He joined the faculty at UT-Austin in 1958. He performed Concrete Column Research with Phil Ferguson for a PhD in 1963. He continued research with ACI , ASCE, AISC committee work on columns, composite structures, frame analysis, and design aids with part time consulting until his retirement in 1999. Afterwards, he continued consulting and began lectures for Senior learning groups.
His research and writing brought advancements to composite column design during the last third of the 20th Century. Dr. Furlong’s work in the design of composite columns helped make them important components of earthquake-resistant building frames and bridges. His research on biaxial bending of columns, column slenderness and inelastic behavior of frames contributed to improvements in design specifications for both steel and concrete structures. In addition, his studies of inverted T-beam bent caps also earned the Raymond C. Reese Award from the American Concrete Institute (ACI), while his numerous design aids for concrete structures have been part of the ACI Handbook for 25 years.
After service on the Board of Directors of both ACI and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), he was elected President of the Texas Section ASCE in 1997. He was recognized as an Honorary Member of ASCE in 2001. In 2004, Dr. Furlong was awarded the ACI’s Educational Activities Committee (EAC) Speaker of the Year Award. The award is in recognition of his efforts in establishing one of the most successful ACI seminar series, “Reinforced Concrete Design”, and for his many years as an instructor in cities across the United States.
