Notes
  • Significance: Connolly's Seafood Restaurant, probably constructed during the 1920s, is the last remaining example of structures devoted to historic commercial activity on the finger piers extending into Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Located at the head of Pier 5, Connolly's Seafood Restaurant was associated with the Chesapeake Bay-based commerce of the early 20th century. While commercial buildings along Pratt Street facing the waterfront survive, Connolly's is the only remaining early 20th century commercial structure on the once bustling piers of the Inner Harbor. The Connolly's complex originally consisted of an office (701 E. Pratt Street), oyster house (703 E. Pratt Street), restaurant (705 E. Pratt Street), warehouse (rear), and boats moored at the slip adjacent to the office. Presently access to the slip is blocked by a footbridge connecting Pier 4 with Pier 5 and the three sections of the complex along Pratt Street are occupied by the restaurant. The Connolly family has operated the business for five generations. The restaurant was a Baltimore Institution until it closed in 1991 when the City of Baltimore terminated the lease.
