Mercantile Trust Building was constructed in 1885 by architectural firm Wyatt and Sperry. This Romaniquese inspired building survived the 1904 Baltimore Fire, but sustained damage when bricks from the Continental Trust Building fell through the skylight, setting fire to the interior. The company left in 1983 and the building became a nightclub under several different names as the years passed. In 2012, it became the new location of the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company.
