EXPLORE OUR HISTORic WATERFRONT at the waterfront warehouse
Step inside one of the oldest extant warehouses in Annapolis — a rare survivor from the city’s bustling maritime past.
It is a unique example of the many small warehouses that stood near City Dock in the 1700s and 1800s. It was likely built for brothers George and John Barber in the early 1800s to house goods to be sold at their nearby store.
In 1967, Historic Annapolis, Inc., proposed a plan that enabled the State of Maryland, through the Maryland Historical Trust, to acquire and restore it, preserving this important piece of Annapolis maritime history.
Today, visitors can explore exhibits that include a detailed scale model of Annapolis which offers a bird’s-eye view of the Annapolis waterfront as it appeared around 1800.
