Details: |
Many locals contributed to the materials and construction of the
building. Most notable is Wendell Bollman, well-known as an
engineer for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, who designed the 130
ton dome's framework of cast iron panels and wrought iron framework.
The cost of the building was $2.3 million, which was $200,000 less
than originally estimated. The cost of the renovation in 1974
was $10.5 million and was solidly supported by the people of
Baltimore in 1974.
