The Tobacco Warehouse on 1103 N. Caroline St. was constructed for leaf tobacco storage circa 1875 by Becker Bros., a Baltimore firm formed by German immigrants. Over the years the building has been a warehouse for the Baumgarten & Co. toy manufacturers and stationers’, an upholstery shop, a roller skating rink, a mattress factory, cabinet makers, a furniture repair shop, and artist and maker studios. New development has been proposed by Cross St Partners to convert it into a mixed use space for offices, production, and/or retail space.
