Baltimore is full of amazing buildings, including the following place that holds a world record! Check it out and consider visiting this spot when you get a chance.

If you've been to Baltimore's Inner Harbor, then you've surely seen the World Trade Center in the middle of all the action. It's the 6th tallest building in the city and not many people know that it's the tallest regular pentagonal building in the world.

Although Houston's JPMorgan Chase Tower is also five-sided and taller, it's not a regular pentagon like Baltimore's World Trade Center. This means the length of each side and the angles are all equal.

Up close, it's difficult to tell that this building has five sides. Once you get a view of it from the water or certain angles, it's a little more obvious.
