Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower
Emerson Tower often referenced as Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower or the Bromo Tower is a 15-story, landmark clock tower erected in 1907–1911 at 21 South Eutaw Street, at the northeast corner of Eutaw and West Lombard Streets in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. It was the tallest building in the city from 1911 to 1923, until supplanted by the Citizens National Bank building (later First National Bank of Maryland, then occupied by MECU - Municipal Employees Credit Union) at the southeast corner of Light and Redwood (German) Streets. It was designed by local architect Joseph Evans Sperry (1854-1930) for Bromo-Seltzer (headache pain remedy) inventor Isaac Edward Emerson (1859-1931).

For years it was surrounded by and part of the Emerson Drug Company with its office headquarters and manufacturing plant for the carbonated headache pain relief tablets or powder Bromo-Seltzer. Later the Emerson building around it was razed and replaced by the current John Steadman Fire Station of the Baltimore City Fire Department for serving the west side of downtown Baltimore. The Steadman Station combined several earlier engine and truck companies in different firehouses on the downtown west side. Built in the Brutalist architecture style of poured concrete, the station has lines echoing the surviving tower to its south and west.
