This address is now part of a large commercial complex known as La Banque de Fleuve, a wedding and other event facility that can accommodate groups both indoors and outdoors on the waterfront. It also includes La Banque at the Seaplane Base. This entire property now includes 309 St. John Street as well as what was previously known as 311-315 St. John Street (the C.H. Rigler Furniture Store) and 317-321 St. John Street (the historic First National Bank building). 309 St. John Street had apartments in 1940, one of which was the home of Kate Boyd (1869-1940), the daughter of Francis J. Boyd (1831-1902) and Missouri Boyd.

The waterfront property includes a 300' pier and hangar licensed for boats, a privately owned seaplane base, and an event tent that accommodates up to 200 people. During 2015, vast improvements were made to the entire property to make it a desirable wedding venue with some updated courtyard shops and several apartments. In the fall of 2015, a remodeled bridal store opened in the complex, called Edel’s Bridal Boutique. Beside it now is Sweet Eats Cakes, a wedding bakery, owned by Samantha Chmieleski who has been creating attractive cakes for about 20 years.

The blue and yellow building facing onto St. John Street includes Integrity Real Estate with Al Peteraf on the ground floor with rental space on two levels. Arnold and Elsie Stackhouse had an apartment on the second floor of this building in 1977, where an entire window wall provided a magnificent view of the Susquehanna River. Arnold Stackhouse (1926-2019) was WWII veteran who earned a purple heart in Okinowa, a sailboat racer and seaplane pilot, and began a sailmaking business in Havre de Grace after which he established the seaplane base here.
