MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY May 1, 2024 The Washington County Historic District Commission held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, May 1, 2024 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, Ann Aldrich, and Brianna Candelaria. Staff members present were: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator and HDC Staff member. Mr. Dennis Frye and Mr. Gary Candelaria were also present at the meeting. MINUTES Motion and Vote: Mr. Yavener made a motion to approve the minutes of the April 3, 2024 meeting as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lushbaugh and unanimously approved. NEW BUSINESS Antietam Farm (Gum Tree Farm) WA -II -371 National Register of Historic Places CLG Review Ms. Jenkins explained that a notification was received from MHT regarding the National Register nomination of Antietam Farm located along Mills Road. The nomination is being submitted under National Register Criterion A and C. Ms. Jenkins noted that the property is eligible under Criterion A for its association with the evolution of the agricultural industry highlighting the change of ownership, property size, and workforce (enslaved). Its history ties it to the Civil War and its broad influences on properties not directly associated with the Battle of Antietam but greatly affected by troop movements. Under Criterion C, the structure is a blend of vernacular architecture transitioning from Federal to Greek Revival trends with windows, sidelights, interior moldings and transoms around door openings depicting these architectural styles. The Pennsylvania bank barn is one of the largest in South County with the two out sheds and wagon barn being unique among its comparable neighbors already on the National Register. Staff is recommending the nomination as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Discussion and Comments: Ms. Candelaria stated that Antietam Farm was the subject of her Master's degree thesis and she shared several points of interest relative to the property. Mr. Frye (the property owner) gave a brief history of the property and how he obtained it. Members viewed before and after photos showing the restoration and rehabilitation that has been completed by the property owner since the time of purchase. Ms. Jenkins noted the property is preserved by a Rural Legacy easement. Motion and Vote: Ms. Aldrich made a motion to accept Ms. Jenkin's justification statement for eligibility of this property for the National Register of Historic Places. The justification statement is as follows: "Antietam Farm is eligible under Criterion A for its association with evolution of the agricultural industry highlighting the changes in ownership, property size and workforce (including enslaved). It also ties to the Civil War and its broad influences on properties not directly associated with the Battle of Antietam but affected greatly by troop movements and military occupation as documented. The property is also eligible under Criterion C for its blend of vernacular architecture with the Federal and Greek Revival period trends. These characteristics are evident in windows, sidelights and transoms around door openings as well as interior moldings. The bank barn and wagon shed are both examples of vernacular functional architecture with the bank barn being unique in its size compared to others in the area. The resources and the events associated are sufficiently documented to illustrate their significance, integrity, and features adequately." The motion was seconded by Mr. Yavener and unanimously approved with Ms. Candelaria abstaining from the vote. OTHER BUSINESS Price's Bridge, WA -I-291 Ms. Jenkins explained that as the GIS Coordinator for the Department of Planning and Zoning, she is involved in preparing maps that are included in the County's Capital Improvements Plan. One project that she noticed this year is improvements on Price's Bridge. Ms. Jenkins made an inquiry regarding this project and was informed that there have been discussions between the County, its consultant and MHT regarding eligibility for the National Register. There has been a difference of opinion on this matter. MHT would like to see the bridge restored in its entirety; however, the Director of Public Works is exploring other options due to funding issues. Ms. Jenkins presented the idea that she would act as liaison between MHT, the County Engineering Department, County Public Works Department and the HDC on this project. There was a brief discussion regarding the proposed repairs and maintenance being considered for the bridge. Ms. Jenkins suggested inviting the Directors from the two County departments working on this project to attend a HDC meeting and give more detailed information regarding the proposed work and funds needed. Consensus: Members agreed that a meeting would be beneficial. Preservation Month 2024 Ms. Jenkins announced that a Proclamation for Historic Preservation Month will be presented on May 7th at the County Commissioners' meeting. Members are welcome to attend. May 22nd at 6:00 p.m. is the Preservation Basics that is being co -sponsored by MHT at the Hagerstown Library. Staff Report • Staff Reviews - Ms. Jenkins provided a written summary. • Notification was received from MHT that new number has been assigned for the structure in Ravenswood on Frederick Street. The demolition contractor has provided the documentation as recommended by the HDC. • The 250th subcommittee recently met. Minutes of that meeting will be provided to HDC members in the near future. Mr. Frye is working on the enslaved and enslavers database for the public library. • The County Attorney's Office has sent a draft of the updated HDC By-laws. The updated document will be distributed with the June agenda. • The Historic Tax Credit Ordinance was adopted by the County Commissioners. A copy of the current brochure was distributed and needs to be updated. We will be discussing changes and ideas at the June meeting. • The Heritage 31 — Maryland Statewide Preservation Plan was sent to members under separate cover. ADJOURNMENT Mr. Lushbaugh made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:25 pm. The motion was seconded by Mr. Yavener and so ordered by the Chairman.

Staff Report: This property is in Rohrersville Rural Village (111025) and is directly outside of the Main Street survey area, but within the Rural Village zoning designation for the County. It was individually surveyed and contains two Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties listings at 111140, 4423 Main Street and 111020, 4425 Main Street (permit subject). The property is approximately 14.57 acres and is between Main Street and Rohrersville Road with Little Antietam Creek flowing through the southwest portion of the property. The property sits on top of a slope with trees surrounding it making it minimally visible from Main St. or Rohrersville Road. The brick farmstead includes the two-story, five bay brick house, an icehouse, and a bank barn. The brick residence has had exterior updates previously reviewed by the HDC including the addition of a porch and updates to the addition to the rear of the structure. The permit subject is a pool pavilion with a portion enclosed to the rear of the main brick house on the property. The existing pool is approximately 50 feet up slope from the brick residence with the proposed pavilion being on its northeast side approximately 100 feet from the residence. The area for proposed construction is already cleared land that is part pasture area and part existing lawn. The proposed structure is approximately 16'x32' in total with the enclosed portion being approximately 16'x14'. The materials proposed for construction are to match the existing porch on the brick residence. The roof will be standing seam, and the siding is proposed to be wood siding. The location of this new construction is not visible from the Rohrersville Main Street survey area nor is it visible from either adjacent roadway. Staff Analysis: The new construction proposed meets applicable SOI Standards as it is subordinate to the existing brick residence and outbuildings with sufficient distance from those structures allowing for minimal impact to the spatial relationship of the existing historic buildings on site. The distance also allows for essential form and integrity of the property and its environment to be retained. The new construction also meets 747 Northern Avenue I Hagerstown, MD 21742-2723 I P:240.313.2430 I F:240.313.2431 I Hearing Impaired: 7-1-1 WWW.WASHCO-MD.NET AND 7 I, HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION the applicable WC Design Guidelines for New Construction as it proposes to be compatible in form, design, and materials with the existing structure. The new construction is also sited in a way as to maintain the existing characteristics of the property and minimally impact the viewshed. The new construction complies with the review criteria of Section 20.6 and Section 5D.5 of the Zoning Ordinance as it does not impair the historic or architectural value of surrounding structures. Staff Recommendation: Recommend support of the Residential New Construction Permit/Other, 2024-02144, for the reasons stated in the Staff Analysis.

The HDC shall be lenient in its judgment of plans involving new construction, unless such plans would seriously impair the historic or architectural value of surrounding structures. Staff Report: The structure is listed on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties as the David Oswald House, WA -IV -270, with survey documentation completed in 2013. The documentation evaluated the property for the National Register as part of a project review and concluded it did not meet Criteria A or B nor did it retain sufficient integrity for Criteria C. The structure is situated between Cavetown Church Road to its North and Jefferson Boulevard to its South and is approximately 12.41 acres of land. The buildings on the property have tree cover and topography obscuring their view from Jefferson Boulevard but the majority are visible from Cavetown Church Road. This property was previously a Residential, Rural zoning category, however, as part of the 2014 Town Growth Area Comprehensive Rezoning, the property was rezoned to Business, Local at the request of the previous property owner. This rezoning was also consistent with the adjacent Business, Local zoning designation to the West of the Property along Jefferson Blvd. The property has retained its residential and agricultural land uses since that rezoning, however, there is a Preliminary Consultation for the property proposing a change in use of the property to 2 pad sites and the remainder in storage units. The buildings subject to the demolition permit are mainly located in the area proposed for site stormwater mitigation on that plan (PC -24-003). For a full description of the structures, the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties entry WA -IV -270 can be referenced. In brief, the site includes a two-story, four -bay dwelling with side gabled roof. This structure also appears to have had its summer kitchen attached by a brick addition. The house has had several additions to the south (rear). Windows of the main house still have the Italianate windows referenced in the MIHP description as two -over -two wood frame sash windows covered by storm windows. The MIHP references aluminum siding, however, the siding is showing signs of deterioration consistent with some type of composite siding. The remaining structures include a barn, garage and sheds. The MIHP references a bake house, however, it is believed this was the structure damaged by fire and no longer remaining. The barn is 747 Northern Avenue I Hagerstown, MD 21742-2723 I P:240.313.2430 I F:240.313.2431 I Hearing Impaired: 7-1-1 WWW.WASHCO-MD.NET AND 7 I, HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION partially banked with a stone foundation and has been sided in vinyl. It appears this vinyl siding is covering the original wood siding. The barn retains its 3 cupolas. Also of note are the 4 doors at ground level on the north side of the barn which have flush wood doors with louvered transom vents and retain original hardware. There are also window vents with similar louvered wood to the side of the doors. The lower level of the barn was accessible through these doors and inside are bays with hay drops and large hand-hewn beams. There is also an abundance of other materials stored in the barn including doors of varying age and hardware types. The garage is located south of the house and east of the barn. It is oriented on a north -south axis and has a side -gabled roof. The garage includes timbers of similar look to the barn as ceiling joists. While the MIHP lists this building as having brick foundation there appears to be some portion of it that is stone and the siding does not appear to be aluminum but rather a composite board similar to the house. It is currently open to the weather and shows deterioration at the entryway and roof overhangs. There is a very narrow wood sided shed with small entrance doors to the south of the garage that has a shed roof. This structure is very narrow and its original use is unclear. There is a small shed to the north of the garage which has similar siding and a corrugated metal roof. To the west of the garage, north of the barn is another small one story shed with a single door and siding in similar material as the rest of the structures. It appears to have sawn wood for its construction material and was used for storage of wood and other materials at time of the site visit. Directly, adjacent to that one story shed is a 2 -story shed. It appears to be sided in vinyl. There are steps to the upper level on the interior and the interior appears to show the original wood siding is still present just covered. Construction appears to use sawn lumber. The foundation is stone. Adjacent to this shed, there was a pile of single pane wood windows and a pile of slate tiles. Neither of which appear to be from this site but are potentially reusable materials. Staff Analysis: While the structures on this site may not meet the criteria for the National Register, there is a possibility that with rehabilitation efforts, the property may be eligible locally. The Oswald and Beard families which are associated with the property, are known figures in Washington County. The property's main house has had extensive additions and changes to its exterior, excluding the windows, over time with unknown repercussions to the historic building fabric. However, there appears to be many architectural elements still intact. The general layout of the structures matches the referenced image of the Oswald House in "An Illustrated Atlas of Washington County" from 1877, Lake, Griffing and Stevenson. This reference image provides information on what the structures looked like previously, showing context of the extent of change. While not an exact drawing it is rare to have a reference for the exterior and gives some potential support to rehabilitation efforts. All of the buildings have visible deferred maintenance which has affected the exteriors, however, none of the structures appear unsafe from exterior review. While development is proposed on this site, there appears to be a 747 Northern Avenue I Hagerstown, MD 21742-2723 I P:240.313.2430 I F:240.313.2431 I Hearing Impaired: 7-1-1 WWW.WASHCO-MD.NET AND 7 I, HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION potential that this cluster of structures could be spared with additional site work. There is currently no salvage plan in place for any of the structures, although the customer has been informed of the potential for salvage materials and was open to the concept. Because this is still at the preliminary consultation phase, it may be viable to either redesign the site or at minimum encourage additional documentation or salvage. There also appears to be some conflict in the materials on site between the MIHP and the recent staff visit. The siding is not aluminum but rather a composite of some kind. There are no environmental analyses provided to indicate if asbestos, lead or other hazardous materials have been tested for. The project will lead to a state entrance permit so project review at MHT will be necessary. The demolition permit is being applied for at the beginning of the project process and there are other reviews or elements which could enable the retention of the structure. The HDC has previously stated that the state project review should be initiated before the demolition permit is applied for. Staff Recommendation: Recommend against support of this demolition permit with the following recommendations for the property owner: The property owner should initiate the MHT project review process first as this allows for the Section 106 process to review the project involving consulting parties. The property owner should pursue a viable site plan alternative to avoid demolition, if not feasible, the site should have an addendum to its MIHP documentation completed and submitted to Maryland Historical Trust. The updated documentation should include revisions to materials, status update of the buildings including photos, as well as a more thorough analysis of the condition of the buildings. The property should also have its buildings evaluated for salvageable materials as well as a hazardous materials.

Imo- rice DIVISION OF PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS OWNER -BUILDER DECLARATION Building Permit No: I Project Address: �Z6 C70 ii�`� 3d'6 / I, the applicant/owner, have agreed to act as the "Owner -Builder" under this building permit. By doing so, I am assuming all responsibilities typically required of a licensed contractor for the construction of my proposed project. By signing this document, I understand and verify the following: • I understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain an "Owner - Builder" building permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing his or her own labor and material personally. I, as an "Owner -Builder" may be held liable and subject to serious financial risk for any injuries sustained by an unlicensed person and his or her employees while working on my property. My homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for those injuries. I am willfully acting as an "Owner -Builder" and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to workers on my property. • I understand building permits are not required to be signed by the property owner unless they are responsible for the construction and are not hiring a licensed contractor to assume this responsibility. • I understand as an "Owner -Builder" I am the responsible party of record on the permit. I understand that I may protect myself from potential financial risk by hiring a licensed contractor and having the permit filed in his or her name in instead of my own. • Licensed contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public. I understand that contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in the State of Maryland and to list their license numbers on all permits and contracts. If I contract with someone who does not have a license, the contractors' State License Board may be unable to assist me with any financial loss I may sustain as a result of a complaint. My only remedyagainst unlicensed contractors may be a civil court. • I understand as an "Owner -Builder" if I sell the property for which this permit is issued, I may be held liable for any financial or personal injuries sustained by any subsequent owner(s) that result from any latent construction defects in the workmanship or materials. • I have not entered into a contract with any person or company to perform work covered by this permit, including a contract for somebody to manage, oversee, or supervise in any way. I will not enter into such contract without first notifying the building permit office of the name of the person or company so that the license status can be determine and, if registered, the builder's name and license number can be added to the building permit. I understand that the contractor cannot perform any work on the structure until this information has been added to the permit. • Ali trade work (plumbing, electrical and mechanical) must be completed by a contractor licensed/registered in Washington County, Maryland. Exception: A homeowner can perform plumbing work on their own existing residence or new dwelling under construction in which they will reside on a one time basis only. They must obtain a score of 70% or greater on the homeowner's plumbing test to obtain a plumbing permit to work within the confines of his/her own existing dwelling, up to 3 feet (915 mm) from the foundation wall on the builgipg drain.

The building occupies a 12.41 -acre parcel north of MD 64 (Jefferson Boulevard) and east of Cavetown in Washington County. According to state tax data, the property was constructed in 1800, however, physical evidence and historical documentation suggest the house may have been constructed closer to 1865. The building is oriented on an approximately east -west axis, and its asymmetrical facade faces north along Cavetown Church Road. It is located in a semirural area amid agricultural land and scattered single-family dwellings. Cavetown Church Road is an unstriped asphalt lane between Cavetown to the west and MD 64 to the east. A low stone retaining wall, approximately 85 feet long, provides a narrow lawn between the house and the road. Stone steps and a stone walkway lead from the road to the house's front entrance. Two large maple trees screen the house from the road, and a variety of bushes are located along the house's foundation wall. An asphalt driveway west of the house leads past several outbuildings and forms a loop around the barn. All outbuildings occupy part of a grass lawn surrounding the house. Small agricultural fields form the property's western and southern boundaries, and trees line the property on the east. The house is a two-story, four -bay dwelling with a side -gabled roof. The house's three western bays are oriented beneath a medium -pitched side -gabled roof. The entrance, located in the center of these three bays, consists of a paneled metal door with a MARYLAND HISTORICAL TRUST REVIEW Eligibility recommended Eligibility not recommended Criteria: A B C D Considerations: A B C D E F G MHT Comments: Reviewer, Office of Preservation Services Date Reviewer, National Regist Program Dat Zc%3o-�j2G3 NR -ELIGIBILITY REVIEW FORM WA -IV -270 David Oswald House • Page 2 two -light transom. The doorway features a narrow wood surround with a shallow triangular pediment and flared trim; it includes a three -light storm door. The entrance is approached via an open, gable -roofed stone stoop. Two square wood posts support the stoop's roof, which is faced with vinyl siding and clad with asphalt shingles. The house features two -over -two double -hung sash wood windows with arched upper lights and wide wood muntins. Two windows flank the entrance, and three more are centered above the entrance on the second level. Although flush with the other three bays, the two-story east bay is crowned by a shed roof which extends from the house's east gable. The east bay is spaced apart from the gabled bays but features the same arched -light windows on the first and second floors. Centered beneath the shed roof at the house's east elevation, two bow windows project from the first and second floors. The windows include wide wood muntins with 12 individual lights. Supported on knee braces, a wood -framed asphalt -shingle awning shades the first -floor window. Two one -by -one wood casement windows occupy the attic story below the gabled roof. Like the facade windows, these windows have arched lights and a pedimented surround. The house's gable -end west elevation comprises two bays. Arched -light, double -hung sash windows occupy the first and second floors, and the attic story is configured identically to that of the east elevation. The house is sheathed with painted aluminum siding and corner trim. Its asphalt shingle roof includes a wood -framed boxed rake and eave with shingle molding and a narrow fascia. A painted half -round metal gutter, supported on metal brackets, spans the facade. Cornice returns are present along the west gable. The house includes numerous additions along the south (rear) elevation that also extend beyond the east and west elevations. A two-story shed -roofed addition adjoins the house's southeast corner. Its east side, flush with the house's east elevation, includes an arched -light double -hung window on each level. The second -floor window includes a pedimented surround and operable louvered wood shutters. The addition's shed roof slopes down to the west. A square concrete -block chimney rises along the addition's south elevation. • A one-story addition spans the south elevation and appears to be a sunroom or enclosed porch. It has a brick foundation and is eight bays wide and four bays deep. One -over -one vinyl -clad windows wrap around its three exposed sides. Asphalt shingles, like those of the main roof, cover the addition's shed roof. To the southwest, the house has been further expanded by incorporating a small one -and -one -half -story building, most likely originally a detached kitchen. The kitchen is oriented on an east -west axis like the main house; it has a stone and brick foundation and a gabled roof. Its west elevation consists of a stone base surmounted by board and batten. A six -light wood casement window occupies the ground floor; a two -over -two wood -framed sash window is centered at the gable above, The stone base continues halfway across the north elevation and wraps briefly around the south elevation, Modern manufactured brick covers the north elevation where the stone and board and batten end. A six -over -six, double -hung sash wood window is located within the brick portion. The kitchen is joined to the main house by a one-story brick -clad addition along the house's south side. Constructed with the addition, an exterior brick chimney rises along its north elevation at the intersection with the original house. Several outbuildings contemporary to the construction of the house are located on the property, including a barn, garage, sheds, and a bake house. The barn, located southwest of the house, is oriented on an east -west axis and has a gabled roof. It has a stone foundation and is clad with vinyl siding. It is partially banked, with two levels on the north elevation and an earthen ramp that provides access to the second level from the south. The ground level is constructed of random -course stone, but vinyl siding covers the rest of the barn. The roof is sheathed with corrugated metal, and three vented cupolas occupy the ridgeline.

Its roof is covered with asphalt roll roofing. Two small gable -roofed sheds stand west of the house and north of the bam. The taller of the two is oriented on a north -south axis; it has a stone foundation and is clad in vinyl siding. The other shed is perpendicular to the first and is covered with aluminum siding. A shed -roofed bake house is located south of the house. It comprises a single room with an entrance on the west elevation and a single wood -framed window on the south side. A large exterior brick fireplace dominates the east elevation. Like other buildings on the property, the bake house is faced with aluminum siding. Rolled asphalt covers the roof. History/Context The David Oswald House is located east of Hagerstown near Cavetown, at the western foot of South Mountain. Settlement in the area began in the eighteenth century. Smithsburg, to the north, was laid out by Christopher Smith in 1813, and the first post office was established in Cavetown in 1815. By 1820, the population of Smithsburg was 136, and Cavetown had reached 105. The region was known for its rolling hills and scenic beauty. Agriculture was the first industry to develop, followed by natural resource extraction. Timber and limestone were abundant in the surrounding hillsides. The Western Maryland Railway was routed to Hagerstown through Smithsburg and Cavetown in 1872, and a number of quarries and lumber mills operated throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Much of the area served as agricultural land into the twentieth century; since the 1950s, suburban development has slowly encroached upon the remaining farms. David Oswald was born November 10, 1818, near Smithsburg in Washington County, Maryland. He was the fifth of thirteen children born to Benjamin and Sarah Oswald. Benjamin, a farmer, was of German descent; his parents had arrived in Maryland from Pennsylvania in 1774. The Oswald family lived at the western edge of South Mountain, along the road between Smithsburg and Frederick. Benjamin must also have operated a small mill along Beaver Creek near the house; according to Thomas J.C. Williams' History of Washington County, Maryland, when Benjamin died in 1841, David briefly became involved in the Smithsburg general store before returning home to run his father's mill and look after his mother. He married Susan Beard, and the pair had three children: George, Daniel, and Sarah. George would later serve for 36 consecutive years as Clerk of the Circuit Court of Washington County. Living in Hagerstown, he held leading roles in many of the county's social and civic institutions. David Oswald served for a time as state and county tax collector in 1860 and 1861. He was a Democrat and a member of Beard's Lutheran Church (St. Peter's) in Smithsburg. His primary occupation was farming, and he became an active participant in the Farmers Club of Washington County. Between 1864 and 1865, David Oswald purchased 26 acres of farmland from George Fogler and Peter, Benjamin, and Louisa Fockler (possibly a different spelling of Fogler). The property was located east of Cavetown, encompassing the parcel now occupied by the David Oswald House. Oswald most likely constructed the house and several accessory buildings at this time.

The house is clearly shown as a three -bay, double -pile building with a side -gabled roof. It has a symmetrical facade with a central entrance and hip - roofed stoop; the first -floor windows appear to have matching window hoods. One-story hip -roofed side porches span the east and west elevations. The house demonstrates elements characteristic of the ltalianate style, most notably in the use of arched -light windows still evident today. The Italianate style grew out of the Picturesque movement which eschewed formal classicism and emphasized romanticism and rural ideals. The style incorporated classical components without rigid adherence to orders and form. Bracketed cornices, arched and hooded windows, and elaborate porch supports were common. It was popularized in the United States by pattern books published by A.J. Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing in the mid -nineteenth century. The use of arched window lights at the David Oswald House is a simple and basic expression of ltalianate ideals more appropriate for a working farm than for an elaborate rural estate or country retreat. While the house shows Italianate influences, its symmetrical, side -gabled form is typical of rural building traditions and earlier, classical styles. The Lake, Griffing, and Stevenson map also depicts many of the outbuildings comprising the Oswald farm. Farms around Cavetown and Smithsburg during the mid -nineteenth century grew a mixture of wheat, corn, oats, and potatoes. Typically, farms of the period were arranged hierarchically; buildings stood at the functional center of the property surrounded by gardens and cropland. Pasture and hay meadow stood closer to the periphery. Buildings related to food processing stood nearest the house. These included kitchens, spring houses, smokehouses, and bake houses. Barns were sited closer to the fields with adjacent buildings for storing crops, machinery, and livestock. In the Lake, Griffing, and Stevenson plate, a detached kitchen is shown immediately southwest of the house. The kitchen is the same size and form as the building that has since been incorporated into the house. Although the materials differ, the interior chimney is in the same location, and a single window occupies the north elevation. Detached, or summer, kitchens are most • commonly rectangular one -to two-story buildings situated close to the main house. Gabled roofs were typical, and kitchens were generally 150-250 square feet. They were used in the summer months to process various fruits, vegetables, and meats. Meals might also be served in the kitchen. The kitchens were most common between 1850 and 1930. The barn is also depicted on the Oswald property. With its gabled roof and projecting forebay, it is typical of a Pennsylvania Barn, a form popular in the region between 1820 and 1900. Pennsylvania Barns were most common in eastern and central Pennsylvania and are usually associated with builders of German descent. These barns typically have gabled roofs, but always include a 7-8 foot forebay and are banked along the eaves side, providing ground -level access to two floors. The Oswald barn is partially banked along its south side, and a central ramp leads to the second story. The plate shows the barn with a form similar to the existing building. Along the north elevation are several vents and large upper -level doors that have since been obscured by vinyl siding. The existing vented cupolas along the barn's ridgeline appear to be almost unchanged from the originals. The Lake, Griffing, and Stevenson plate also shows a small rectangular building that shares a yard north of the barn. It has a gabled roof with an extended porch. Rectangular louvered vents occupy its north elevation. Its form and location suggest it may have been a small stable. It is possible that this building remains in part as the taller vinyl -sided shed north of the barn. A fourth outbuilding, with a gabled roof and vented cupola, is shown east of the barn; most of it is obscured. Although this building may have been converted into the garage, it is depicted farther north than the existing building and appears to have been demolished.

Although ovens were frequently incorporated into separate kitchens, outdoor bake houses provided a separate space for this hot and labor intensive task. Bake houses were typically small one -room buildings with windows to provide light. They were constructed with a variety of roof forms and finishes but are typically identifiable by a chimney and bulging oven space at one end of the building. David Oswald died at the house in 1885. Following his death, his daughter, Sarah, and son-in-law, George Pound, inherited the property. Peaches became a major industry in Washington County after 1880; in 1910, George Pound was among the county's largest peach shippers. However, production soon declined as a result of insects, disease, and short-lived trees. No peach trees are present on the property today. Sarah Pound remained in the house until her death in 1937, and the house was sold outside the family. The David Oswald House has undergone numerous changes and alterations since its construction in the mid 1860s. The west elevation porch has been removed, and the east elevation porch has been enclosed and extended to the second floor. The porch enclosure appears to have been completed between 1940 and 1960. The original west elevation windows were moved to the facade at the porch enclosure's north end. The adjacent two-story addition was likely completed around the same time. It also includes a relocated window. The summer kitchen has been incorporated into the original house. The use of manufactured brick and Portland cement suggests this may have completed in the second half of the twentieth century. A sunroom along the south elevation is the most recent addition to the house. The house's original cladding has been removed or obscured with aluminum siding and asphalt shingles. Other buildings have also been altered. Vinyl siding covers most of the barn, and corrugated metal protects the roof. A combination of vinyl or aluminum siding and asphalt or corrugated metal roofing has also been applied to the remaining outbuildings. The original 26 acres have been reduced to less than 13. Some of the property has been subdivided into single-family parcels, and in 1956, the MD 64 Cavetown bypass was constructed through the property's south side. Wheat fields and orchards are still present nearby, but the fields adjacent to the house are planted with a type of squash, possibly pumpkin. Following the MD 64 • bypass of Cavetown and Smithsburg in the 1950s, the surrounding area has gradually been developed with residential subdivisions serving Hagerstown to the west. Significance Evaluation The David Oswald House was evaluated under the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Criteria A, B, and C. The David Oswald House is typical of modest rural farmsteads established in Western Maryland and is a basic example of the type commonly built in Washington County in the mid -nineteenth century. The house, associated outbuildings, and surrounding agricultural land demonstrate a common rural development pattern. The house was constructed in the mid -1 860s, well after the establishment of nearby Cavetown and Smithsburg. The farm did not introduce any innovations in agriculture or farm design and function. Research did not identify significant associations with events of local, state, or national importance, and the David Oswald House is not eligible for the NRHP under Criterion A. Although David Oswald was an active participant in the local community, he made no significant contributions in this role. The Oswald and the Pound families lived on the property for almost 75 years; however, their activities were not significant in the development of Cavetown, Smithsburg, or Washington County. George Oswald was an adult by the time the David Oswald House was constructed; he was not raised at the house, and it is not associated with his productive life. Research did not reveal other individuals of local, state, or national significance, and the property is not eligible for the NRHP under Criterion B. MARYLAND HISTORICAL TRUST REVIEW Eligibility recommended Eligibility not recommended Criteria: A B C D Considerations: MHT Comments: Reviewer, Office of Preservation Services Reviewer, National Register Program A BCD E F G Date Date NR -ELIGIBILITY REVIEW FORM WA -IV -270 David Oswald House Page 6 The David Oswald House demonstrates Italianate influences but is not a significant example of the style; furthermore, it has been modified by later additions and the loss of original material. Since its construction, aluminum siding has replaced the house's original cladding, porches have been removed, and additions have enlarged the house to the east, west, and south. The barn and other outbuildings have been similarly altered; some buildings have been removed or replaced. The rerouting of MD 64 along the property's southern boundary has further altered the surroundings, and the property no longer retains sufficient integrity of design, materials, workmanship, setting, or feeling. Therefore, the property is not eligible for the NRHP under Criterion C. The property was not evaluated under Criterion D as part of this investigation. Based on the evaluated Criteria, the David Oswald House is not eligible for listing in the NRHP. The boundary for the property encompasses 12.4 acres and is confined to the current property tax parcel which is found on Washington County Tax Map 051, Parcel 0076 (2013).

The request for comment was reviewed at the June 5, 2024 Regular Meeting. The HDC requests consulting party status due to the proximity of this project to Leitersburg Historic District (WA -I-174) which has a National Register status but has also been locally adopted as an Architectural Review Area. The property is also in close proximity to locally designated properties including Rockledge (WA -I-142), Myers -Schooley (within the district), and the Leiters Mill Bridge (WA -I-176). We look forward to further working with you through this process. Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact our office.
