The Baltimore and Ohio Locust Point Grain Terminal Elevator in Baltimore, Maryland is one of the largest grain terminal elevators to be constructed in the early 20th century. Completed in 1924 for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad with a capacity of 3.8 billion bushels, it is a concrete structure on the edge of the Locust Point neighborhood. The workhouse is 22 feet high with industrial sash windows, and the grain bins are 105 feet high.

The export of grain through the Port of Baltimore declined after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was absorbed by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, which concentrated on coal shipment. The structure was sold, and is presently owned by ConAgra.
