The gentleman has been identified as Rosemont resident and Kaplon neighbor Howard Lewis with his dog Champ. It was likely taken in the mid-1970s.

- 18:2718:27, 11 December 2023 diff hist +886 N File:Meadows Bldg Basement Tunnel.jpg The tunnel under the Meadows Building is a source of interesting speculation. Could it have housed a gambling room or prohibition era speakeasy? The tunnel led from this building to the one next door. Could it have provided as escape route up onto W. Potomac if it were one or the other? It's also possible the reason for its existence was innocent. Gene Fauble I remember that area. Fritz Powers used it for storage for the bar and restaurant back in the early 80s. Taffie Wilson My grandfather...

These community events often took place on Thanksgiving morning or the day after as many farm families and organizations prepared food for the less fortunate. From other photos we have, this butchering appears to have taken place at the Ida and Lev Brown farm on Quarter Branch Road in Lovettsville in the 1950s. What's going on here appears to be a hog killing operation. According to Ronald Carbaugh: "The five gallon bucket h... current
