The Baltimore building formerly occupied by The Brass Elephant restaurant is scheduled to be sold at a public auction on the premises, 924 N. Charles St., at 2 p.m. on Aug. 3. Alex Cooper Auctioneers is handling the sale, which is a mortgage foreclosure sale on behalf of PNC Bank.

The restaurant closed in August 2009 after nearly 30 years of operation. According to Alex Cooper's website, the sale involves the real estate only, not the former restaurant's furniture, fixtures, equipment or liquor license.
