The Baltimore Equitable Society, founded in 1794, is one of the oldest corporations in Baltimore and the third-oldest fire insurance company in the United States. Originally located in a historic bank building constructed in 1857, the society has a rich history of insuring prominent citizens' properties and promptly paying out claims.
With a symbol of clasped hands representing the agreement between the company and policyholders, Baltimore Equitable Society has played a significant role in the city's history, including insuring properties of notable figures like Charles Carroll of Carrollton and witnessing key events such as the War of 1812. Today, the society continues to uphold its tradition of providing fire insurance coverage to those in the Baltimore area.
