Der Phoenix Shot Tower (auch bekannt als Merchants’ Shot Tower und Old Baltimore Shot Tower) ist ein historischer Schrotturm aus roten Mauerziegeln in Baltimore, in Maryland, in den USA. (de) The Phoenix Shot Tower, also known as the Old Baltimore Shot Tower, is a red brick shot tower, 234.25 feet (71.40 m) tall, located near the downtown, Jonestown (also known later as Old Town), and Little Italy communities of East Baltimore, in Maryland. When it was completed in 1828 it was the tallest structure in the United States. The tower was originally known as the "Phoenix Shot Tower", then the "Merchants' Shot Tower", and now is also sometimes called the "Old Baltimore Shot Tower". It is the only surviving shot tower among four that existed in Baltimore, and was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 11, 1971. It was designated as a local Baltimore City Landmark on October 14, 1975. The Shot Tower lends its name to the nearby Shot Tower/Market Place station on the Baltimore Metro subway system's northeast line. Additionally, the original Baltimore Bullets were named in honor of its role in producing shot, as was the team that is now known as the Washington Wizards. (en) La Phoenix Shot Tower, conosciuta anche come Old Baltimore Shot Tower, è una torre per pallini in mattoni di Baltimora, nel Maryland, costruita nel 1828 per la produzione di proiettili di piombo. Al momento della sua costruzione era l'edificio più alto degli Stati Uniti d'America. (it) La Phoenix Shot Tower est une tour située à Baltimore (Maryland, États-Unis). Haute de 65,5 mètres, ce fut la plus haute structure des États-Unis, de sa construction en 1828 à celle de la Trinity Church à New York en 1846. À l'origine, elle fut une tour à plomb qui servit à la fabrication de grenaille pour la Merchant's Shot Tower Company jusqu'à la faillite de cette dernière en 1898. Le principe de fabrication consiste à laisser couler des fines gouttelettes de plomb fondu du haut de la tour et de les faire tomber dans un bac d'eau froide situé au bas de la tour. La chute donne une forme sphérique aux gouttelettes et le plomb se solidifie instantanément au contact de l'eau ce qui fait apparaître les balles en plomb. La production continua néanmoins jusqu'en 1892, avant que de nouvelles techniques de fabrication la rendent obsolète, bien qu'elle reprît temporairement service au début du XXe siècle. En 1921, la tour fut rachetée par l'Union Oil Company (aujourd'hui Unocal Corporation) qui avait pour projet de la détruire et de la remplacer par une station-service. Après une forte opposition de la population et une collecte de fonds, la tour fut finalement revendue à la municipalité de Baltimore en 1928 bien que le permis de démolir ait été accordé auparavant. Aujourd'hui, il ne reste plus que onze tours à plomb aux États-Unis, la Phoenix Shot Tower est d'ailleurs classée National Historic Landmark. Successivement, elle prit les noms de Phoenix Shot Tower, puis Merchants Shot Tower et enfin Old Baltimore Shot Tower. (fr) |
