The Treaty of Paris Restaurant
Located in the Maryland Inn, the restaurant's name honors the Paris Peace Treaty which ended the American Revolutionary War. Representing Britain were Richard Oswald, the Chief Negotiator under the Earl of Shelburne, and their envoy David Hartley, who was signing for them. Representing the United States were John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and John Jay, all of whom signed the treaty in Paris on September 3, 1783.
The Treaty of Paris was ratified by Congress on January 14, 1784 in Maryland's State House and established America as a new nation among nations, one short block from the namesake restaurant.
