This splendid tower, duplicating an Italian tower in Florence, was built in 1911 to advertise the Bromo Seltzer remedy for indigestion. Earlier in its life it was an office building. Rather than tear it down, the Baltimore arts developers turned the tower into specialized studios for artists, writers, and other creative types in the 2000s. The blue light at the top of the tower was meant to evoke the blue Bromo Seltzer bottle.
