This location once served as home for the GLCCB (Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Baltimore). In 1980, the GLCCB purchased the building at 241 West Chase Street to bring all of the organization’s activities under a single roof. Lambda Rising, an LGBT bookstore owned by Deacon McCubbin, was located on the first floor of the GLCCB from 1986 until 2008.
After more than thirty-four years at 241 West Chase Street, the GLCCB moved to the Waxter Center in February 2014.
