Baltimore Heritage in 3D

Sharing the beauty of Baltimore through digitizing its statues, memorials, and architecture.

Moorish Tower

The Moorish Tower was designed and built by George Frederick in 1870. The structure stands over thirty feet tall with eighteen-inch wide solid marble walls. The tower used to face the Jones Falls valley and the small neighborhoods, but people today overlook the twisting ribbons of highway and downtown Baltimore.

Battle Monument

The Battle Monument endures as a commemoration of the attack by land at North Point and by the sea at Fort McHenry. It honors those who died during the month of September 1814 during the War of 1812. The monument serves as the official emblem for the City of Baltimore on the city flag.

Italian sculptor Antonio Cappellano created Lady Baltimore & French-born architect Maximilian Godefroy created the base

Built-in 1815. It is 52 ft (16 m) high; figure height 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m)

Aquatic Sea Horse and Osprey

This sculpture graces the front entrance to the War Memorial Building in Baltimore, MD built in 1927 and designed by Edmond Romulus Amateis. It is one of a pair of sculptures that hold an osprey to represent the navy and one holding an eagle to represent the army.

This 3D model was built with 140 photographs.

The Gatehouse

This historic gatehouse was built in the 1860s as the primary entranceway to the Sheppard Pratt psychiatric hospital. Due to the financial requirements of building a 340-acre campus, as well as labor complications of the Civil War, building the hospital took over thirty years to complete. The Sheppard Asylum opened its doors in 1891 with the hallmark cottage at the Charles Street entrance to the campus.

It is built in Tudor Revival Style and provides two living units, one on each side of the archway. The Gatehouse resembles a Swiss chalet and has become a trademark of Sheppard. The neighborhood residents refer to it as the home of Hansel and Gretel. It was recently restored in 2013 and serves as a guesthouse for visiting staff, lecturers, visiting physicians, and ghosts (just kidding!).
