The 1905 Italianate tower sits at the edge of a historic district and has become a symbol of the neighborhood. It is just one of two towers of its kind left in Baltimore. It was deginated a Baltimore City Landmark in 2008. The tower is in need of funds to address increasing deterioration including crumbling terra-cotta. The Greater Roland Park Mater Plan calls for the restoration of the tower and the creation of a neighborhood park around it.
