MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY November 1, 2023 The Washington County Historic District Commission held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. in the Washington County Administration Complex, 100 W Washington Street, Room 2001, Hagerstown, MD. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Commission members present were: Greg Smith, Chairman, Lloyd Yavener, Michael Lushbaugh, Vernell Doyle and Justin Bedard. Staff members present were: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator and HDC Staff member. MINUTES Motion and Vote: Mr. Yavener made a motion to approve the minutes of the October 4, 2023 meeting as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lushbaugh and unanimously approved. NEW BUSINESS 11609 Kieffer Funk Road [SP-23-037] Ms. Jenkins presented a site plan for a proposed solar generating system on property located at 11609 Kieffer Funk Road. The solar array will contain 26,416 panels and 47 inverters as well as a 7 foot fence. This property is split with zoning designations of RT (Residential Transition) and A(R) (Agricultural Rural). The solar array is proposed on the portion of property zoned A(R) which is outside the Growth Area. There are no historic resources adjacent to the proposed solar array; however, there are a few historic resources close by. None of these sites are eligible for the National Register. There is a family cemetery on the parcel which contains the dwelling; however, it is not close to the proposed solar arrays. Discussion and Comments: Mr. Bedard asked if an archeological survey was required by MHT. Ms. Jenkins said there were no comments regarding an archeological survey included in MHT’s comments but she will follow up on this question. Mr. Smith noted there has been a lot of controversary surrounding this project in the past. Ms. Jenkins stated neighbors were concerned about the visual impacts to their properties. Members noted that most of the historic structures are surrounded by significant tree cover. The standard note on the plan that the property contains historic resources is sufficient. 12440 Burkholder Lane, Lot 1 for Martin Property [S-23-058] Ms. Jenkins presented a subdivision plat for the Martin property located at 12440 Burkholder Lane. A warehouse and connecting road to Northpoint Development is proposed on Lot 1 (123+/- acres) with the remaining lands containing the Kershner-Burkholder Farm (MIHP I336). Discussion and Comments: Ms. Jenkins noted that the County may require the developer to allow space on the site for future connections to other roads. There was a brief discussion regarding the HP overlay on the dwelling. Ms. Jenkins stated that was suggested during the preliminary consultation and a letter was sent to the property owner. Ms. Jenkins noted that during the Dickinson Farm site visit there was a cemetery mentioned on one corner of the subject property. She will check if an archeological survey will be completed. Mr. Bedard suggested that an evaluation for National Register eligibility should also be conducted. The standard note indicating historic resources on the remaining lands should be included on the subdivision. OTHER BUSINESS Staff Report • Staff Reviews - Ms. Jenkins provided a written summary. • 2024 Meeting calendar – Ms. Jenkins presented a draft calendar for the 2024 HDC meetings.

Sincerely, Meghan Jenkins, GISP Historic District Commission Staff 1004 The Terrace Hagerstown, MD 21742 December 15, 2023 Ms. Meghan Jenkins Historic District Commission 747 Northern Ave. Hagerstown, Maryland 21742 Subject: Project 2023-015 Dear Ms. Jenkins The thumb drive includes the completed project documentation I have provided to the Maryland Historical Trust staff for them to review. My project was a lot more involved than I initially expected. A significant amount of deterioration could not be seen from the ground, especially since most of the work was two stories high. Once the contractor set up the scaffolding. he was able to document the deterioration that needed to be repaired. We do not believe any significant work had been performed on the house's exterior for forty -plus years, and most of what was repaired was original to the house construction in 1915. I was home for both phases of the project (windows and exterior) and could watch each day's progress. My contractor, Mitchell Brown, and his company, Preservation for Posterity, impressed me with their knowledge of preservation work and their efficiency. I highly recommend them for restoration and preservation work, which is all they do. Please let me know if you need additional information. I can be reached at 301-991-2344.

Halpert: I've included all of the information required to be submitted for Part 3 approval. I have met all of the items identified on the Conditions Sheet. The rear patio tile replacement was completed by a separate contractor and no expenses were included in this submission. My project was a lot more involved than I initially expected. Item # 1, refurbishing the original windows, was slightly less than expected. Item #2 was significantly more than expected. I provided the initial estimate for Part 2. My contractor provided a detailed estimate for the exterior work in March 2023 for $25,000 and told me he would likely find more deterioration when he could get up on scaffolding. As the project proceeded, he identified the additional deterioration that could not be seen from the ground. I have included numerous "before" pictures that show what it looked like from the ground and what he found once he got a closer look. We do not believe any significant work had been performed on the exterior of the house for forty -plus years, and the majority of what was repaired was original to the house construction in 1915. I was home for both phases of the project (windows and exterior) and was able to watch the progress each day. My contractor, Mitchell Brown, and his company, Preservation for Posterity, impressed me with their knowledge of preservation work and their efficiency.

RK&K 159 Plaza Drive Keyser, WV 26726 Re: East Water Street Streetscape Improvements Town of Smithsburg, Washington County, MD Dear Ms. Dodge: Thank you for your recent letter regarding the above-referenced project. The Maryland Historical Trust (Trust) previously commented on the proposed undertaking by letter dated 17 April 2023. We are writing to continue consultation and provide additional information in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Maryland Historical Trust Act of 1985, as appropriate. As previously established, the Town of Smithsburg proposes a streetscape project along East Water Street that involves sidewalk and storm drain improvements, replacement of the water main system, and lining or replacement of the sewer main system along Water Street from Veterans Park to Smithsburg Pike (MD 64). The project is partially located within the Smithsburg Historic District (MIHP No. WA-IV-259). This historic district was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 and contains 162 properties dating to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that contribute to the significance of the district. Your recent letter inquired about the relevance of a stone arch culvert located in the vicinity of 23 East Water Street. We have reviewed the photographs included with your project materials and consulted existing survey documents in our archives. East Water Street was established around 1813-1814 with major alterations during the 1870s to the elevation of the road in the immediate vicinity of the culvert. It is likely that the culvert dates to one of these 18th century campaigns. Since it still retains modest integrity, the Trust believes that the stone arch culvert contributes to the significance of the historic district. Alteration of the structure in a manner inconsistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties could result in an adverse effect finding for this project. To continue the Section 106 consultation for this undertaking, please submit the following information: • Please indicate all federal or state funds/permits/involvement to confirm that the project is subject to Section 106 regulations and/or MHT Act. • Please provide a more detailed description of the proposed project and include preliminary plans when available. Be sure to highlight areas of disturbance and specify the proposed streetscape materials (i.e., sidewalk, retaining walls, vegetation removal and replacement, etc.). Please endeavor to replace areas of brick sidewalk in-kind. Rhiannon A. Dodge, P.E. East Water Street Streetscape Improvements Page 2 Once we have received the additional information requested in this letter, the Trust will continue its review of the undertaking and provide appropriate comments and recommendations, including the need for any archeological investigations. If you have questions or require further assistance, please contact Beth Cole (for archeology) at beth.cole@maryland.gov or me (for the historic built environment) at tim.tamburrino@maryland.gov. Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to comment.

Members Present: David Wiles, George Messner, Jefferson Boyer, Rachel Nichols, Rick Hemphill Staff: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator and HDC Staff member. Discussion Buildings and the power of place from the 250th Field Guide were discussed at this mee�ng. Members were prompted in varying ways to elicit responses regarding this topic. Some of these prompts included: What are some buildings or places of importance during the founding period? What Federal, State and Local proper�es are important for the public? What geographic characteris�cs are unique or important or have changed? What hasn’t been expanded upon or promoted regarding buildings/geography in the past or is unfinished research/projects? Poten�al Building/Research Projects for collabora�on: 1. Fort Frederick Focus: a. 3rd Barracks building reconstruc�on at Fort Frederick was not completed with the bicentennial. While State owned, a collabora�on with the County to complete the project or host archaeology at the fort would be beneficial for ci�zens. b. The African American schoolhouse reconstruc�on project (Nathan Williams African American Heritage Walking Tour (maryland.gov) 2. South Mountain Inn: a. This was recently purchased by the State. Determina�on of plans and whether they will come to frui�on and can be �ed to the 250th planning and tour efforts. 3. Building to the le� of the Miller House (WCHS) is up for sale and would provide addi�onal exhibit space and an anchor for celebra�ons/collec�ons on loan for the 250th. MEETING SUMMARY THE UNITED STATES 250TH | HISTORIC SUBCOMMITTEE FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY Page 2 4. Crea�on of a park, parks programming or upgrade/addi�on to parks themed with the 250th a. Weverton -Roxbury Rail Trail par�al segment opening/breaking ground during 250th celebra�ons b. Having some landscaping in County parks which mimics historic types/uses (some done at Ag Center but could expand to other parks or promote/expand ag center. c. Price’s Bridge restora�on and park crea�on similar to Wilson Bridge. Built in 1822 however it would be a great promo�onal park for the centennial if it gets added back to the roster of remaining bridges. htps://washingtoncountyhistoricaltrust.org/17-prices-bridge-1822-conococheague- creek-west-of-cearfoss-md/ or apps.mht.maryland.gov/Medusa/PDF/Washington/WA-I-291.pdf d.

Washington visited Fort Frederick at least 2 �mes as documented. The CSHD has discussed commissioning an ar�st ’s rendering/print to show him walking into the fort. 6. 100’s Commemora�ve Markers wmd1776.jpg (1869×950) (rootsweb.com) a. Hundreds were formed on sections of land with 100 "taxables" (males, age 16 and older and male and female slaves, age 16 and older). Unoccupied land could be included in these 'tracts' and each was given a distinct name and had a constable assigned to keep order, much like later Sheriffs. When first established, it probably consisted of a greater area, but as time passed and the population increased, more Hundreds would be established from it and the old Hundred would decrease in size. (This may well be similar to the townships one finds in Pennsylvania today.) These Hundreds were later replaced with districts which usually were named after the town it included and/or a district number. In 1777, tax assessments were made on the value of the real and personal property of the head of the household and the "taxables" method was no longer used. The Hundreds were gradually phased out and Districts replaced them. MEETING SUMMARY THE UNITED STATES 250TH | HISTORIC SUBCOMMITTEE FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY Page 3 7. Promote or expand upon the Maryland Century Farm program and recognize farms that may coincide with the 250th milestone as well. htps://mda.maryland.gov/farm_to_school/Pages/Century_Farms.aspx a. Berman Lee Hixon, Berman Lee Hixon Farm b. Robert W. Cline, Elmer T. Cline Farm c. Eric Seifarth, Felfoot Farm d. David Shinham, Bur Oak Farm e. Richard Newcomer, Green Meadows f.

Charles & Ailien Downs, Montpelier 8. The impacts of early land patents and poten�ally displaying those patents at an exhibit space to highlight the family names and the way they re-shaped the geography and what the land was used for. This could �e into the Clerks for the County, County Courthouse coming later, the structure of “government” at the �me. The first clerk being Otho Holland Williams (Williamsport) and where/what documents were at the �me legal documents. 9. Expand on the history of the naming of the County. Who were the par�cipants in the pe��on for naming and highlight the �ming of it being named “Washington” so early a�er the declara�on was signed. This may �e into the land patents and legal documents discussion because some records may be at Annapolis in the hall of records there as local Court House wouldn’t have some of the earliest documents. 10. Highlight the Furnaces/early industry. These were basis for large land patents and had families associated with them which are important to the County’s history. Forges were important for muni�ons in war effort. a. Mt Aetna Furnace – Hughes family (associated with Old Forge Farm) b. An�etam Furnace – also Hughes family c. Green Spring Furnace – Jacques family, house with poten�al G.W. stay 11. Ini�al buildings of note: a. Hager’s Fancy (Hager House) 1739 (City of Hagerstown) b. The Hive (associated with Fitzhugh Family washingtoncountyhistoricaltrust.org/7- the-hive-circa-1850-near-chewsville-md/ c. Frog Hollow – Van Lear – Hoys d.

Robert Clagget Farm – 1770-1790 m. Rockland Farm 1773 n. Cedar Grove 1760 o. Keedy House 1776 12. Rather than focus on the date of structures, look at and promote structure types unique to the County; could pursue addi�onal Na�onal Historic Landmarks since we only have 3 a. Focus on Stone houses (some listed above are that construc�on type); discuss the layouts that made these early houses unique and the Germanic heritage they represent b. Promo�on of the Stone Arch Bridges which are early 19th century and not necessarily in the founding period but are an important historic element to the landscape and fit the 250th themes (using exis�ng tour map, revamp?) see also the poten�al projects with Price’s Bridge c. Forts and their crea�on/use should be highlighted and associa�on with families of the County since early forts were not all “Ft. Frederick” i. Ft. Tice (Cearfoss) ii. St. Pauls (first) iii. Blockade House, Cedar Ridge, Conococheague d. Mill Complexes e. Stone Walls/Fences f. Bank Barns g. Churches of varying architectural styles and denomina�ons h. Schoolhouses i. Markers (Na�onal Pike and Mason Dixon 13. Rural Villages – promote through signage and addi�onal research. Example Yarrowsburg and its associa�on with Mamoud Yarrow who worked at the nearby furnace – portraits at Georgetown University 14. Inves�gate roadways and their historic layout and point out milestones of the County a. First Concrete Road in County – MD Route 66? b. Macadam Na�onal Road – Boonsboro Na�onal Road Museum c. Exis�ng County Roads that have “old alignments” could be explored for mapping or road tour ex. Old Forge d. Markers on State Routes such as Leitersburg Pike/Smithsburg Pike using State highways markers – Could use this mark the 100’s or Rural Villages e. Na�ve American trails and crossings typically following springs/sides of mountains were used; local historical socie�es may have a beter idea where these were and they could be mapped as well. 15. Highlight the ways into and out of the County during the �me period a. “The Gaps” on the east side of the County including Fox’s, Cramptons (NR) and their history MEETING SUMMARY THE UNITED STATES 250TH | HISTORIC SUBCOMMITTEE FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY Page 5 b. River Crossings i. Ft. Frederick (McCoys) ii. Wat’s Ferry Williamsport iii. Four Locks iv. Sharpsburg v. Hancock vi. Harpers Ferry c. Note the geography at the �me was more open and less wooded and set the scene since there were not a lot of permanent Na�ve American setlements throughout the County, most near An�etam and Ringgold. See research of Andy Stout d. Note the influence of Philadelphia, PA and Winchester, VA at the �me. Many travelers/residents were coming through Philadelphia. 16. Older Place Names and their origins should be explored with help from historical socie�es and libraries a. Example Quirack, Cavetown and why it’s the name of the district rather than Smithsburg, Rural Villages like Yarrowsburg, Older place names colloquially 17. Tie in with Park Quest –at State Park level with similar programming. like History Quest 18. Reac�vate Museum Ramble ahead of the 250th if possible 19. Mimic the Clear Spring Passport (example coin provided).
