Built in 1911, the Bromo Seltzer tower was not only Baltimore's tallest structure and the worlds largest four-dial gravity clock, it was and remains the world's grandest monument to over-the-counter antacids.

The tower was designed by Joseph Evans Sperry and built by Captain Isaac Emerson. Emerson was the inventor of Bromo Seltzer - an antacid consisting mostly of sodium bicarbonate and acetaminophen. The original tower featured a 51-foot, 27 ton revolving Bromo Seltzer bottle. Illuminated by nearly 600 lights, it was visible from 20 miles away.

While the big bottle is long gone, you can still read the "Bromo Seltzer" name on the clock dial - just start from 12:00 and read clockwise!
