West Denton Warehouse-Wharf is a historic warehouse located at West Denton, Caroline County, Maryland. It is an early-20th century timber-framed warehouse structure situated along the west bank of the upper Choptank River. The earliest section was built about 1850, and is the 40 foot x 100 foot center portion. The north (40 foot x 20 foot) and south (40 foot x 40 foot) additions were built in the 1940s. It is a representative example of a type of structure which served various functions in connection with waterborne commerce, and is one of only two remaining riverfront warehouses in Maryland.[1]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
