Mercantile Deposit and Trust (Baltimore, Maryland)

Mercantile Deposit and Trust, also known as 2 Hopkins Plaza, 10 Hopkins Plaza, and 2Hopkins, are historic buildings located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. They are significant as a competition-winning design that was part of an influential urban renewal plan known as the Charles Center Master Plan.[2] This was Parcel 12 of that plan. The Modernist buildings were designed in 1965 by the local architectural firm of Peterson & Brickbauer and constructed by Emery Roth & Sons. The two separate structures are part of the same office complex. Built on a shared plaza, they are a 22-story office tower known as 2 Hopkins Plaza and a three-story pavilion known as 10 Hopkins Plaza. The office building rises to a height of 315 feet (96 m).[3] It is one of the first reinforced concrete high-rise office buildings in Maryland.[2]
