The Neoclassical Revival of the Paca-Pratt Building

The Paca-Pratt Building, also known as the Sonneborn Building, is a historic loft building in Baltimore, Maryland. Designed by Theodore Wells Pietsch, it features a Neoclassical Revival style that reflects the early 20th century. The structure was built using "fireproof" reinforced-concrete construction, faced in buff-colored brick with a coursed ashlar foundation and stone trim.

Originally built for Henry Sonneborn and Company as a vertical clothing manufactory, it was the tallest and largest strictly manufacturing building in the city of Baltimore. The building is situated in the Loft Historic District South and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Today, the Paca-Pratt Building stands as a notable example of early 20th-century industrial architecture. Its nine stories of reinforced-concrete and stone trim remain a significant part of the South Paca Street landscape.
