Silo Point - Turner Developement

While backing up some files I came across some stuff I've been meaning to post. Here's some shots I took for Baltimore Home, a special edition of Baltimore Magazine. They're of Silo Point luxury condo's, located close to Fort McHenry in Locust Point. The condo's are the project of developer Pat Turner, who I photographed with his wife Jeanine in what was to become a reception area (if I remember correctly):

The building is, as writer Martha Thomas describes, "...a 1923 cement structure that once shot five million bushels of corn, wheat, and soybeans up and down its cavernous shafts each day, loading them on railroad cars to be transported across the country for Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM)." I found "cement structure" to be a pretty accurate description of the building. Throughout the condo's, structural elements of the grain elevator still exist and are incorporated into the design of many of the condo's. In the shot above of the Turner's, you can still see large concrete pillars behind them, circled by fancy floor lights.

Part of the article on Silo Point also featured some of the early residents at Silo Point, such as Chris Guarda and his girlfriend Andrea Lasner (above). They had this gorgeous red wall in their condo which turned out to be a perfect backdrop for our shoot.

 Also featured was Michael Cox, another resident who lives at Silo Point with his wife Cathleen. I also photographed some of the interior of their condo, which had these two walls of windows with a beautiful view of the city.

I'll have to post more of some of the interiors when I get a chance, some of these condo's were really amazing....
