Silo Point, formerly known as the Baltimore and Ohio Locust Point Grain Terminal Elevator, is a high-rise grain elevator located on the edge of the Locust Point neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland. It is one of the largest grain elevators to be constructed in the early 20th century. The grain elevator rises to 310 feet/94 meters, containing 24 floors and 228 rooms.[2][3] It was built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1923-1924, with a capacity of 3.8 billion bushels.[4] Currently it is being reconstructed by Turner Development Group and architect Parameter, Inc. from a grain elevator to a condominium, which is expected to contain over 228 condos. It is expected that the grain elevator will not be removed from the building.[5]
The export of grain through the Port of Baltimore declined after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was absorbed by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, which concentrated on coal shipment. The structure was once owned by ConAgra.[6]
