The Grady Courtyard, facing Commerce Street directly behind the Historic Grady Building, provides a dramatic entrance through a garden into the Grady Market.

The courtyard is named for the Grady Brothers, early Apalachicola businessmen who, in 1884, founded J.E. Grady & Co., a ships' chandlery and mercantile business which operated on the Apalachicola Riverfront until the mid 1930s.

The Grady Building has been completely renovated and features the Consulate with four luxury apartments on the second floor and retail shops on the first floor.

The courtyard itself features an entryway facing Commerce Street leading to The Grady Market through a garden-like setting with outdoor seating.
