Tolchester Steamboat Company quarters

Description

The Tolchester Steamboat Company quarters on Light Street in Baltimore, Maryland. Figures can be seen in front of the building, which has signs lighting the night scene. The company operated a steamship line that ran daily excursions from Baltimore to the Tolchester Beach Amusement Park in Kent County, Maryland. The park consisted of a bathing beach, amusement park, racetrack, and hotel, and was in operation from 1877 to 1962. It was a popular vacation destination for Baltimoreans as it was only 27 miles across the Chesapeake Bay.
