J. C. Lore Oyster House, Industrial heritage building in Solomons, United States.
The JC Lore Oyster House features two stories of wooden frame construction with metal roofing and concrete walls designed for flood protection.
From 1888 to 1978, this seafood processing facility operated as the second largest among thirty-five oyster packing companies along the Patuxent River.
The facility employed numerous workers from the African American community, contributing to the economic growth of Maryland's maritime industry during the 20th century.
The building, now part of Calvert Marine Museum, contains preserved shucking rooms where workers processed up to two gallons of oysters per hour.
The establishment supplied oysters to major retail chains Acme Markets and Kroger under the Patuxent brand throughout the midwestern United States.
