Potomac Street adjacent to the site of the old YMCA, which was destroyed by fire in November, 1980. Following years of planning and discussion, the City of Brunswick, Maryland finally moved the historic WB Tower off of CSX property. The interlocking tower, built around 1906-07, was removed from service a decade ago and residents feared the historic Baltimore & Ohio structure would be demolished. Coordination of engineering ser... current

  • 18:3118:31, 10 April 2022 diff hist +1,277‎ N File:Washington Monument Postcard.jpg ‎ Here is an undated postcard of the Washington Monument outside Boonsboro. Judging from the attire of the people on the top of the monument, especially the ladies, the photo likely dates to the turn of the 20th Century or earlier. Built in 1827, the original tower was the first monument dedicated to George Washington to be completed. Although it was a popular meeting place for the citizenry of Boonsboro, weather and vandalism reduced the monument to rubble. In that condition, it was used by th... current

  • 18:2418:24, 10 April 2022 diff hist +899‎ N File:Gathland Postcard.jpeg ‎ This old postcard depicts the estate of George Alfred Townsend adjacent to the War Correspondents' Arch that he built in 1896. Townsend wrote under the pen name "Gath", which was derived by adding an "H" to his initials, and inspired by the biblical passage II Samuel 1:20, "Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askalon." The backstory is that in 1884, Townsend began building this baronial estate in the Catoctin Mountains called "Gapland," near Burkittsville. Gapland was built... current
