A Brief History of Waterfront Hotel Bar
Ann Giles, wife of Edward Fell, leased the lot to Thomas Long, who had the original structure erected. His Brother Robert Long built the first brick home in the City of Baltimore at 812 S. Ann Street near George Street (Thames). The same bricks were used for both houses, so it can be reasonably assumed that this is the second oldest brick building in the City of Baltimore. The bricks used were glazed headers rarely found in structures, and can still be seen.
In 1781, Thomas Long passed and the property was sold to John Kirwan, a merchant, who in 1791 sold it to Cumberland Dugan, from Ireland. His son Frederick J. Dugan, a lawyer, inherited the property and passed it on to his son Pierre C. Dugan who founded the oldest real estate firm in Baltimore. Due to the size it can reasonably be assumed that the building became a hotel during the Civil War period (1861-65) and continued through to the Second World War.
Mr. James Dembowski, a member of the Maryland Legislature, purchased the building in 1948 as a hotel and tavern. The building was discontinued as a hotel in 1955 but remains in use as a tavern to this day.
