Constructed in 1923, the B&O Railroad grain terminal was the biggest and fastest grain elevator in the world. This beacon of international commerce jutted 290 feet into the air. The grain terminal was the pulse of the world's agricultural market in the new age of industrialism. Every year, nearly ten miles of conveyor belt carried 3.8 million bushels of grain from rail cars to transatlantic cargo ships. These vessels transported the grain to ports all over the world.  Today, the 24-story tower developed by Turner Development Group rises above Baltimore's Harbor to mark a new era in modern living.

We are fortunate to have Patrick Turner himself as our speaker for this event!  Patrick will give an overview of this innovative project. Turner Development Group has been improving the urban landscape for over 25 years. Firmly committed to improving cities, Turner Development specializes in creating original, viable reuses for the buildings and neighborhoods that give every city its unique character. Through a creative approach to solving architectural and planning issues, the Turner team has transformed unique structures like Silo Point into exciting urban havens for residential and commercial use.

We'll enjoy a lunch catered by Chef's Exressions during the program, which will also include CPM installations.  After lunch, Chapter 16's own Christine Boone, CPM, ARM, Silo Point Site Manager, will give us a tour of the property.  Please join us!
