The sign says, "The Old Treasury Building was built by Patrick Creagh in 1735-36 for the Commissioners for Emitting Bills of Credit who issued the first paper money of the colony. Known in the colonial period as the Paper Currency Office, and the Loan Office, the building acquired its present name in the 1780s when it housed the Treasurer's Office.
The building has been used for many purposes over the centuries and has undergone multiple architectural changes. In 1947-51 a major renovation restored it to its 18th century appearance. It is now undergoing architectural and archaeological investigations, but it will eventually reopen as a public exhibition space relating to the history of the building and 17th century Maryland. The new exhibits will also explore the relocation of Maryland's capital from St. Mary's City to Annapolis in 1694."
