Rembrandt Peale opened the first building in the United States designed and erected exclusively as a museum and art gallery in the summer of 1814. The museum was designed by Baltimore architect Robert Cary Long, Sr., and served as Baltimore’s city hall from 1830 until 1875. It has been the city’s civic museum since 1931.
Shopping and Dining: Cross Street Market is located between South Charles and Light Street, and is part of the Federal Hill district. Numerous vendors offer very high-quality items at this busy public market, which has a history of operation that stretches back to 1846. For sale here one may find everything from fine cheeses and tobacco products to the fresh live crabs. This is also a great place to pick up lunch or a keepsake to take home or to give to friends or family. The raw bar at the market is famous for its variety and the freshness of its goods. After sundown the entire place turns into one grand bar, and attracts a crowd of people representing every walk of life. It’s a great place to be when the fun starts.
