About
The Phoenix Shot Tower, previously known as the Old Baltimore Shot Tower, was named for the lead shot that was manufactured there from 1828 to 1892, used for small game hunting. Standing at over 234 feet, it was the tallest structure in the United States when it was built in 1828 and for nearly two decades afterwards.
