Thermopane

Halfway through the article, Rogers wrote, “I am sitting on the seventh floor of the downtown Baltimore Holiday Inn. Through the thermopane picture window is a huge public clock in which the numerals have been replaced by the characters B-R-O-M-O-S-E-L-T-Z-E-R; in my lap is a telephone, and the Baltimore White Pages.”

Even before the change in ownership the complex had been “well maintained” with “relatively new” thermopane windows and a six-year-old roof, noted Kathleen M. Carroll, the Queens-based appraiser hired by Mr. Flake’s partners, in her 2006 report.

Some of the yellow brick barracks are only five years old, and they have Thermopane windows and new, automated heating systems.

The theater is housed in the white brick and thermopane 800-seat Seattle Center Playhouse built for last year's World's Fair.
