Completed in 1911, the Munsey Building was named after the publisher Frank Munsey, and served as the offices for the Baltimore News.This newspaper eventually became the Baltimore News-American when purchased by William Randolph Hearst. Currently, the building is used for luxury condos and features a M&T Bank in the lower level.
