At the turn of the century (19th -> 20th), Baltimore was the third leading port of entry for raw coffee beans.
This photograph shows the abandoned, old Levering Coffee Warehouse located at 1400 block of Philpot Street, Fells Point. It was here where ship loads of South American coffee would be delivered. In fact, the Levering Coffee Company was one of the nation’s leading coffee importing houses south of New York. Levering also roasted and packed Lord Calvert, whose motto was “Every sip is delicious,” brand coffee. The company was started in 1866. In 1919, The Levering Coffee Company was incorporated. Then, almost a century after it has started, Levering would be merged into Shaffer Stores Company, a Pennsylvania corporation.
