1840s Plaza 1840s Ballroom 1840s Carrollton Inn Carroll Mansion The Shot Tower

The 1840s Plaza consists of several prominent historic structures in the heart of Baltimore's Museum Row. The complex, a recently designated city landmark, will create an alternative destination spot for visitors near and far to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. It will serve as reception site, conference hall, museum site and an inn for resting after visiting Baltimore's many venues and enjoying the city's exciting year-round events.

The Carroll Mansion is a public museum named for its most famous occupant, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Catholic and last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. Tours cover all aspects of the building's history and the lives of those who lived here. 410-605-2964 or www.carrollmuseums.org.

The Phoenix Shot Tower, built in 1828, was the tallest building in the United States until 1846. Shot for small game hunting was made in the tower until 1892. Light shows and tours are available free. 410-605-2964 or www.carrollmuseums.org.

The Gardens on the Plaza
The promenade from the Fava Building to the Carroll Mansion is lined with boxwood and flowers appropriate the 1840s period. A herb garden sits next to the Carroll Mansion and signs tell the historic uses of the plaza.

The 1840s Ballroom is the home of the 1840s Ballroom, a unique and elegant conference, party and reception venue located on the fourth floor. The Ballroom features panoramic views of the Inner Harbor and murals of Baltimore in the 1840's. A restaurant, Latin night club and lounge will soon occupy the first three floors of the building, bringing even more excitement to the Plaza as a center for entertainment.
