Wells Fargo Signage

At B&B Welding, we’re proud to have left our mark on the City of Baltimore’s skyline. Our steel work can be found in the atriums of iconic buildings, the decorative steelwork atop skyscrapers, and in less heralded jobs like handrails and The Visitor’s Center. While the names of the buildings may change, our work remains.

In 2013, B&B Welding was asked to install the new BB&T signage — designed by Michael Walkley — at The Gallery on Calvert and Pratt streets. We jumped at the challenge, because this wasn’t your average sign — it was a 34-foot-long, triangular-shaped galvanized tubular structure that would extend over the south roofline.

To install this massive steel structure, our team had to think creatively. Piece by piece, we maneuvered steel members up elevators, carefully assembling the structure with precision onsite. Working with Jesse Keen of Keen Construction, we successfully positioned the sign to appear as if it was floating in midair above the roofline.

Fast forward to 2024, and Wells Fargo takes over the building, eager to make their own mark on Baltimore’s skyline. The new bank wanted their sign to extend 20 feet beyond the original. Once again, we found ourselves on the job. Our team carefully lifted the entire structure back over the roof, removed the BB&T sign, installed a new steel extension, and then repositioned the completed WELLS FARGO sign.

The result? A striking addition to Baltimore’s urban landscape that showcases both Wells Fargo’s presence and B&B Welding’s expertise.
