212 Duke Of Gloucester Street
Annapolis, MD 21401

Unique opportunity for historic building in the very heart of downtown Annapolis! Since 2002, the building has served as the home of the New Providence Club, a social club built on the long tradition of such clubs in Annapolis dating back to pre-Revolutionary days. Annapolis Signatories of the Declaration of Independence, William Paca and Samuel Chase, belonged to social clubs in Annapolis, such as the "Forensic Club," where members gathered to enjoy "invigorating debate, cuisine and spirits," according to historical archives, or "The Tuesday Club" which was known for its âconvivial dining and satirical debateâ. Carrying on this rich tradition, in 1960 a group of businessman began to meet at the Maryland Inn to discuss current issues of the day, local news and topics of mutual interest. Thus began the "The New Providence Club," which went on to purchase the building at 212 Duke of Gloucester. Members come from varied backgrounds with military duty and business experience. Many are "world travelersâ having traveled to over 200 countries. This unique building built in 1946, is now offered for sale. Much upside potential exists for this 2,304 sq. ft. brick bi-level just two doors down from the Historic Maryland Inn. It's C2P zoning allows both professional offices and residential use. The upper level, with natural light provided by the high vaulted ceilings and windows across the front facade could accommodate a luxurious 1 or 2 bedroom residential home. The space has a large kitchen, an expansive multi-purpose room and large living area. The lower level is currently leased month to month to a local lobbying group. This level includes a spacious reception area, 3 private offices & 1/2 bath. Seller would consider leasing back the upper level of the building.
