The Garrett-Jacobs Mansion is a historic 19th century Baltimore building that is currently home to the Engineers Club.

Cole and Kathryn Railly end up at Philadelphia's Metropolitan Opera House on their search for the Army of the Twelve Monkeys. The building was in a bad state of disrepair at the time of filming. It is currently owned by the Holy Ghost Headquarters Revival ministry which has nothing to do with that shot of the street preacher standing in front of the Met sign that I grabbed from the movie.
