Silo Point is a tall building in Baltimore, Maryland. It used to be a huge building called the Baltimore and Ohio Locust Point Grain Terminal Elevator. This building was once a grain elevator, which is a place to store lots of grain. Now, it has been changed into a place where people live in apartments called condominiums.
When the original grain elevator was finished in 1923, it was the biggest and fastest in the whole world! It stands about 300 feet (94 meters) tall. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad built it between 1923 and 1924. It could hold a massive 3.8 million bushels of grain.
In 2009, a company called Turner Development Group changed the old grain elevator. They turned it into a tower with 24 floors and 228 condominiums. Because it's such an important and old building, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. This means it's a special historic landmark.
