The Sun Office Baltimore

Didn't find much information on this one, but noting that it was from the Undivided Back Era, I believe this was the building where the Sunpaper moved to after the Great Baltimore Fire in 1904. The building was located on the southwestern corner of Baltimore and Charles streets.

Munsey Building and Battle Monument

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.

Also see the Battle Monument commemorating the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. The figure is a woman that represents the City of Baltimore and wears a crown of victory.
