Locust
Point is home to Fort McHenry, which at the turn of the century,
was one of the busiest immigration points in the United States,
second only to Ellis Island.
In 1931, William Procter & James Gamble were able to spot a
good thing and built their state-of-the-art soap plant at the best
location on Baltimore's harbor.
Manufactured
in this modern complex, products such as Tide, Ivory Soap, Joy and
Cascade achieved icon status and transformed the American home.
Not to mention the nation's airwaves.
A Procter & Gamble marketing campaign spurred a radio showthe
first "soap opera." Today, the site is spurring the renewal
of the entire community.
Future
home to a proposed immigration museum, Tide Point joins the maritime
attractions of the National Historic Seaport along Baltimore's harbor,
including the USS Constellation, historic Fells Point and the Museum
of Industry. And for companies with vision, leasing a piece of the
past is the most exciting way to secure a piece of the future.
