Blob's Park, German beer hall in Jessup, Maryland, US.
The wooden dance floor of Blob's Park stretched across 2,500 square feet and accommodated up to 1,000 people for dancing and dining.
Max Blob established this German beer hall in 1933 after Prohibition ended, and his family operated it until its final closure in 2014.
The venue introduced the first Oktoberfest celebration in America during 1947, setting a precedent for German cultural festivals across the country.
The establishment operated Thursday through Saturday evenings with limited Sunday hours at 8024 Max Blobs Park Road in Jessup.
Following a devastating fire in 1956, the beer hall underwent repairs and reopened within six weeks to continue serving the community.
