What is now called the Lion Brothers Building was built in 1886 as a livery stable. It became associated with one of Baltimore’s oldest continually operating businesses, the Lion Brothers Company, after the company relocated to and expanded the building following the 1904 Baltimore Fire. The Lion Brothers Company manufactured embroidered emblems in the building until the late 1950s, before relocating to Owings Mills. Globe Screen Printing then occupied the building until the early 2000s, leaving the building vacant until now.
Once the building was completed, Cross Street Partners stepped into the role of property manager to handle the daily operations and handle tenant relations.
