   I sadly can’t find any pictures of the two buildings in one shot, but it’s crazy the two biggest newspaper companies would be right across from each other.

   Here is some info on the Sun Iron Building.

   Here is the building in 1880.

   It sadly burnt down in 1904 along with most of the city.

   The building in ruin.

   Another picture of it after the fire.

   The Baltimore American built right on top of it’s old site after the fire, that building still standing today.

   The Newspaper itself also no longer exists, the morning paper ceasing operations in 1928, and entirely closing in 1986.

   Is no one going to comment on the American Fire Insurance Co. ad on the side of the neighboring building? :-/
