Old Treasury Building
Restored 1950
This is the oldest state building in Maryland. It was used by the commissioners for emitting bills of credit from 1730 to 1779; by the Treasurer of the Western Shore from 1779 to 1851; by the Maryland State Treasurer from 1852 to 1903; and has been used by the Maryland State Department of Education and others since that date.
The restoration of this building has been made possible through the interest of Wm. Preston lane, Jr., Governor of Maryland, 1946-1950; Dr. Morris L. Radoff, State Archivist; John R. Funk, Chief Engineer of Maryland; Henry Powell Hopkins and Laurence Hall Fowler, architects; and the Cogswell Construction Company, builders.
