More than 1,000 feet long, this immense structure is the longest brick building in the United States east of the Mississippi River. Once home to vast quantities of goods and supplies awaiting further transit by train, ship, wagon, or truck, the renovated warehouse now serves as the headquarters of Major League Baseball’s Baltimore Orioles and is the signature feature of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The popularity of this retro-styled ballpark inspired many imitators.
