Summary
This was the old Marker family store, the South Mountain Hennery Company, in Locust Valley near Burkittsville. At its heart is the historic general store building. William C. Marker erected the store in the early 1900s.
This photo was taken in 1933 when it was still under the operation of Dora Marker soon before it was sold to Edwin and Mary Freed.
The Marker Family farmed the adjoining land and William's son, Dora managed the store. Dora's wife, Mabel Fern Marker was a school teacher at the old Locust Valley school and together, they built a beautiful home across Marker Road in Locust Valley from the store building.
Edwin and Mary Freed managed the store until it closed in the mid-1960s. The Marker/Freed Store Building remains today a great example of rural commercial architecture. The building retains its warehouse, store room, and dwelling space for the storekeeper's family. It is a residence today.
