The Maxwell House Coffee Plant stretched along Hoboken's waterfront from Tenth to Twelfth Streets and was a marvel of its time, the largest coffee processing plant in the world and a local landmark. Before the plant was built in 1938-39, part of the site included key Hoboken landmarks, among them Turtle Cove and The Colonnade Pavilion, which marked the entrance to Elysian Fields, a vast park and popular attraction. The first New York Yacht Club clubhouse was built here, and the site is also regarded as the birthplace of modern baseball.
