MC9058Now known as the Copycat building, Francis O’Neill, Senior Reference Librarian provides this background on the building:
“No. 1501-1523 Guilford Avenue - formally (and for many years informally too) the Fallsway Building was built ca. 1897 by Crown Cork & Seal, which afterwards built annexes to the north and east of it. In the 1920s, however, Crown opened a satellite plant in furthest east Baltimore, and eventually came to the conclusion that that was a better location for them; by the end of World War II they had almost totally forsaken their Guilford Avenue campus, contenting themselves with renting those buildings out to various smaller businesses, including the one that today gives the main building its informal name.”
