Canton House is a historic office building located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a 4 1⁄2-story Colonial Revival-style building, with seven bays across the front façade and three bays across the side. The first story level is in marble and brick is laid in Flemish bond from the second story up. The main entrance features two fluted Corinthian columns. It was constructed in 1923 as the headquarters of one of Baltimore’s largest and most colorful businesses, the Canton Company, a business established in 1828 by Peter Cooper, most remembered for inventing and manufacturing the Tom Thumb steam locomotive.[2]
Canton House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
