Notes
  • Significance: The Pratt Street Power Plant is a striking example of early 20th century industrial architecture and one of 11 buildings to survive the Baltimore Fire of 1904. The central and southern buildings are the work of Baldwin and Pennington, a noted Baltimore architectural firm. The Power Plant, still a dominant structure in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, was constructed to serve as the principal power source for the United Railways and Electric Company. In 1984 the Power Plant was converted to an entertainment center. No boilers or machinery survive although some original equipment may remain as part of a "small historical exhibit" mounted within the now defunct entertainment center.
