Expired 11/30/98.
About the Object:
H.L.P. Incorporated planned to tear down the historic structure and replace it with waterfront condominiums. Before this could happen, the City of Annapolis established a Maritime Zoning District to protect maritime businesses from development pressure.
More Information:
The city purchased the property from H.L.P. for one million dollars in 1989 and leased it to the Waterman's Seafood Cooperative, which dissolved in 1994 due to a competitive market. Two private seafood processors attempted to run wholesale/retail businesses in the space and failed, including the Eastport Seafood Company opened by Doug Orr.
