In 1994, Dimitris Spiliadis, one of the founders of the Black Olive Restaurant, began renovating a row house in historic Fells Point. He uncovered layer upon layer of wallpaper and floor tiles and discovered that the house was over two hundred years old. The project caught the interest of the entire family, and soon, the idea of renovating a nearby row house on Bond Street to turn it into a restaurant became a reality. In March 1997, the renovations of the Original Fells Point General Store were completed, and The Black Olive opened its original 35-seat Greek Fish Tavern.
