The Baltimore City Circuit Courthouses are state judicial facilities located in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. They face each other in the 100 block of North Calvert Street, between East Lexington Street on the north and East Fayette Street on the south across the Battle Monument Square, which held the original site of the first courthouse for Baltimore County and Town.The first courthouse was built for new federal courts in the city. It was undercut in 1784 by Leonard Harbaugh with a pair of arched stone/brick arched piers to permit extension of Calvert Street to the north by passing underneath. A second federal courthouse of Georgian and Federal style architecture in red brick and limestone trim with a cupola was constructed to the west of old Courthouse Square (later renamed Battle Monument Square in honor of the War of 1812). It was sited on the northwest corner of North Calvert and facing East Lexington Street, completed in 1805. This second Courthouse was partially burned on 13 February 1835 during a spate of arson fires in the city during the bank riots that year, but it was soon repaired. An adjacent masonry building to the west was constructed for a Records Office.A third courthouse, a federal district courthouse, was built 1896-1900, on the entire city block west of the Battle Monument. It is bounded by North Calvert Street on the east, East Lexington Street on the north, East Fayette Street on the south and St. Paul Street on the west.
Emerson Tower often referenced as Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower is a 15-story, 88m skyscraper erected in 1911 at the corner of Eutaw and Lombard Streets in Baltimore, Maryland, designed by Joseph Evans Sperry for Bromo-Seltzer inventor "Captain" Isaac E. Emerson.HistoryIt was the tallest building in Baltimore from 1911 until 1923. The design of the tower along with the original factory building at its base was inspired by the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, which was seen by Emerson during a tour of Europe in 1900. Systems engineering for the building's original design was completed by Henry Adams. The factory was demolished in 1969 and replaced with a firehouse.The building features four clock faces adorning the tower's 15th floor on the North, South, East and West sides. Installed by the Seth Thomas Clock Company at an original cost of US$3,965, they are made of translucent white glass and feature the letters B-R-O-M-O S-E-L-T-Z-E-R, with the Roman numerals being less prominent. The dials, which are illuminated at night with mercury-vapor lamps, are 24 feet (7.3 meters) in diameter, and the minute and hour hands approximately 12 and 10 feet (3.7 and 3.0 meters) in length respectively. Upon its completion, the Bromo Seltzer Tower featured the largest four dial gravity driven clock in the world. Originally driven by weights, the moving parts are now electrically powered. The word BROMO reads clockwise, and SELTZER counterclockwise, which results in the letters being located in the following positions:

The Mercy Medical Center (MMC) Forensic Nurse Examiner (FNE) Program is the designated sexual assault and domestic violence center for Baltimore City. MMC has a team of approximately 30 specially trained FNEs available 24/7, 365 days yearly to care for victims of violence, including sexual assault, domestic violence, elder/institutional abuse, vulnerable populations abuse, neglect and maltreatment, in persons aged 13 and older. Traditionally patients experiencing sexual assault and/or domestic violence are seen in an Emergency Department by multiple healthcare providers, which results in an extended length of stay. As part of our program, patients are seen by a specially-trained FNE, resulting in a typically shorter length of stay. Under the FNE's care, the average hospital stay is two to four hours, whereas length of stay was previously a minimum of six to ten hours. The MMC FNE Program also provides evidentiary exams at other hospitals in the Baltimore region for victims who are medically unstable for transport - these exams are conducted upon request. Given the physical and emotional trauma of these violent crimes, victims often benefit greatly from the comprehensive services provided by the program. Both ED and FNE program services are provided to patients FREE OF CHARGE when a FNE examination is performed. Individuals NOT wishing to have evidence collected are seen solely by the ED providers and are therefore billed in accordance with standard hospital procedure. To note, the FNE program works collaboratively with criminal justice agencies and other Baltimore organizations to address the needs of victims of violence. Referrals to the FNE program are made by various criminal justice agencies, Baltimore's Child Abuse Center (BCAC), Baltimore City Public Schools, emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, private physicians, and other health care institutions, to name a few. Patients may also enter the ED independently seeking treatment. As part of these collaborations, the MMC FNEs do provide expert witness testimony at the courts request, as well as community education. Beginning in 2009, Mercy’s FNE Program began the “Jane Doe” or “Blind Reporting” Project. This project ensures that federal requirements are met, allowing victims of sexual assault (regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, etc.) to have the same excellent forensic nursing/medical care along with evidence collection, without immediately reporting to law enforcement. All evidence and reports are maintained in a secured locker on-site for up to 16 months from the time of the examination. This time frame allows the patient precious time to regain decision-making capability while maintaining valuable evidence preservation when/if the patient decides to report to law enforcement. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.
