NE Corner of Paca Street and Lexington Street
Baltimore, MD 21201In Robert Bruce's The National Road (1916), he say the tavern was still standing. Today, it is a city plaza next to a downtown Post Office.
From Searight's The Old Pike (1894):
The Hand in Hand tavern on Paca, between Lexington and Saratoga streets, and the White Swan on Howard street, were likewise old wagon stands in Baltimore, well patronized in the early days of the National Road. Thomas Elliott also kept a wagon stand in Baltimore, and enjoyed a fair share of patronage. He was the father of George Elliott, [manager of the May Pole Tavern].
