A Charles Village landmark, the "Copy Cat" building at 2443 N. Charles St., will go on the auction block at 11 a.m. Tuesday. Attorney Jeffrey Pritzker said the auction, which will be held on the premises, is a voluntary sale on behalf of the owner. Alex Cooper Auctioneers is handling the sale. The building, dating from the 1890s and marked by a corner turret, contains two street-level retail spaces and four upper-level apartments. It originally housed an offshoot of the old Thomas and Thompson pharmacy, once located at Baltimore and Light streets. Until about a year ago, it contained offices of the Copy Cat printing company. It received a preservation award in 2004 from Baltimore Heritage for the restoration of its exterior.
