Designed and built in the 1790s in the Federal style, 9 North Front Street was once a part of a neighborhood of merchants and artisans.
Among the occupants of the area in 1804 were soap-boilers, a hatter, a coach maker, the "captain of the watch", and the "physician of the Port". The second mayor of Baltimore (1804-1808), Thorowgood Smith, lived in this hose from 1802-1804.
Over the years the house has served as a Gardner's Hotel, Seuss Restaurant, and an auto-parts shop. Inn 1971, the City of Baltimore acquired the house in conjunction with the development of Shot Tower Park. Through the efforts of the Women's Civic League, the exterior of the house has been faithfully restored and the interior renovated to provide headquarters for the League.
