CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The regular monthly meeting of the Historic District Commission was called to order by Chairman Michael Gehr on Wednesday, April 6, 2005 at 7:05 p.m. in Conference Room 1 of the Washington County Administrative Annex. Members present included: Jane Hershey, Sandra Izer, Merry Stinson, Carla Viar and David Wiles. Also present was County Commissioner Dori Nipps and staff members, Stephen T. Goodrich and Debra Eckard. Member Eleanor Lakin was absent. C. MINUTES The minutes from the March 2, 2005 meeting were presented. A motion was made by Ms. Izer to approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Mr. Wiles. Unanimously approved. D. COMMUNICATIONS AND BILLS None E. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Chenev's Neck Road Mr. Goodrich presented a copy of the letter that was sent to Todd and Tracey Bowman in February 2005. Mr. Goodrich also stated that he has had several discussions with Mr. Dan DiVito, Director of Permits and Inspections and Ms. Angela Smith, Deputy Director of Permits & Inspections regarding the course of actions that can be taken to resolve this issue. They have stated that court proceedings would be the next step to resolve this matter; however, due to the lack of significant documented evidence and the length of time that has passed, this course of action is not recommended. Mr. Gehr recommended sending a certified letter to the Bowman's stating that the correspondence of February 15th is the Commission's final decision unless new plans are submitted before the next HDC meeting on May 4, 2005. Copies of the correspondence should be sent to the Board of County Commissioners and the Maryland Historical Trust. Ms. Viar made a motion to recommend that the Bowman's property records be "flagged" so if historic district property tax credits are applied for in the future this issue will arise again. Seconded by Ms. Izer. Unanimously approved. Barnes Road Bridge Correspondence Mr. Goodrich presented a copy (for informational purposes only) of the letter written by Mr. Gary Rohrer responding to the Washington County Historical Trust's letter of November 5, 2004. This correspondence is for informational purposes only. TC-05-001 112 Broadway (Follow-up) Mr. Goodrich stated that he has contacted Mr. Colin Ingraham of the Maryland Historical Trust regarding the column replacement issue at 112 Broadway. Mr. Ingraham stated that the Trust believed the columns were going to be replaced "in -kind" and if they had known they were replaced with fiberglass columns, the credit would have been denied. However, since this application was reviewed three years ago, the time limit has passed for the Trust to pursue any kind of action. F. BUDGET Mr. Goodrich presented information for the Annual State Conference stating that there are funds available for any member planning to attend. G. NEW BUSINESS Demolition Permit #2005-02780 21101 Twin Springs Drive Mr. Goodrich presented Demolition Permit #2005-02780 for property located at 21101 Twin Springs Drive and identified in the Washington County Historic Sites Survey as site #WA -I-095. When a permit is applied for on a property listed in the Inventory, the application must be presented to the Historic District Commission for review and comment. If the Historic District Commission recommends denial of the permit application, it must then be presented to the Washington County Planning Commission for their review and comment. Mr. Goodrich introduced Mr. Sandy, the contract purchaser, and Mr. Palmer, owner of the property. Mr. Sandy presented photographs of the property proposed for demolition and photographs of the houses in the surrounding area. Mr. Sandy owns and lives in the adjacent property to the east. He plans to demolish this structure and is proposing to construct a cape cod or a colonial style house on the property. Mr. Sandy stated that the original logs within the current structure are infested with termites. No report was available. Mr. Sandy also stated that he has not had the structure inspected by a structural engineer. Ms. Izer presented information regarding the history of the structure, which served as Luther Bett's general store from 1863 until the early 1900's. Ms. Izer and Ms. Stinson recommended that Mr. Sandy obtain information regarding tax credits for rehabilitation of historic properties. Mr. Goodrich stated that the County offers a 10% credit on property taxes for any work done on the outside of the structure according to the Secretary of the Interior's, Standards. Maryland offers a 20% income tax credit for interior and exterior rehabilitation. There are also Federal tax credits available. In order to receive the County and State tax credit, the property must have the Historic Preservation zoning. Ms. Stinson volunteered to visit the property with Mr. Palmer to obtain more information regarding the architectural history and current condition of the structure. Mr. Gehr suggested selling or donating the historic components of the structure. Commissioner Nipps stated that Rural Heritage Museum is organizing a Rural Village at the Ag Center using donations of historic structures. Ms. Stinson made a motion to recommend denial of the demolition permit based on the significance of the structure as stated in the Washington County Historic Sites Survey for Site WA -I-095 and its importance in maintaining the character of the Rural Village of Chewsville. Mr. Gehr added to the motion that if the demolition permit is issued, the structure should be documented before it is demolished and all parts should be donated for re -use. Ms. Viar added to the motion that this recommendation is made based on the lack of significant information to justify demolition. The motion and its additions were seconded by Ms. Izer. Unanimously approved. PC -05.011 Artz Property Mr. Goodrich presented a preliminary consultation for the Artz property located on Rench Road. There are inventoried historic structures located on adjacent properties and a forest buffer between these two properties. Ms. Izer made a motion to recommend that the planting area between the Artz property and the former Brethren Church be maintained as a buffer area. Seconded by Mr. Wiles. Unanimously approved. DP-05-001.Black Rock PUD Final Development Plan Mr. Goodrich presented the final development plan for the Black Rock PUD located on the north side of Mt. Aetna Road. Mr. Goodrich stated that the Snavely Farm houses, previously proposed for demolition, have been retained on their own lots. Ms. Stinson made a motion to commend the developer for setting aside the two historic houses on their own lots for purchase and rehabilitation and to recommend that the existing barn be set aside on its own lot. Seconded by Ms. Viar. Unanimously approved. H. OTHER BUSINESS None. I. EXECUTIVE SESSION None. ADJOURNMENT Ms. Hershey made a motion to adjourn the meeting a 9:00 p.m. Seconded by Ms. Izer.

Goodrich Chief Senior Planner STG/dse ? /(O / i, .e'/' fl J Goodrich, Steve From: Don Brinser & Merry Stinson [merryland3@myactv.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 7:08 AM To: Goodrich, Steve Subject: Re: Chewsville demolition Good morning Steve, The left-hand side of the house is log, perhaps circa 1810. The right-hand side is timber frame, perhaps circa 1830. The back kitchen section appears to date from the late 19th century, about 1870-90. These are estimates, though accurate. I toured the house from cellar to attic, and it appears to be in very good structural condition generally, despite some assumed termite damage to the logs. Significant woodwork , typical for the respective time periods, remains throughout the building. This is an excellant historical building that should be preserved and restored. Our HDC motion was correct.

The farm is situated on a slight rise above a small stream. The farmstead includes the north -facing - two-story brick farmhouse, the remains of a stone bank barn, and the stone rubble from a springhouse ruin. The 1790 log farmhouse was encased in brick and extended with a brick ell circa 1835. General Description: The Ridenour Farm is located at the end of a half -mile long lane leading west from Hopewell Road. The lane passes through rolling cornfields. The farm is situated on a slight rise above a small stream. Although the surrounding farms are being developed as an industrial park, the Ridenour farm is protected by a buffer of wetlands. The farmstead includes the north -facing brick farmhouse, the stone gable end of a collapsed barn and a concrete silo to the north, and stone rubble from a springhouse ruin to the east. The farmhouse was first built as a two-story log structure circa 1790. The three -bay long house faces north. In about 1835 the building was encased in brick and a two-story solid brick addition was built perpendicularly to the south. The four -bay long ell runs continuously from the west gable end of the original house. The east side of the ell is set back along the south wall of the main house, with a pent two-story inset porch. Stone piers supported the porch floor. The main house stands on a stone cellar. The ell is set on a stone foundation above a dirt -floored crawl space. The basic floor plan consists of two rooms, east and west, in the first structure and two rooms, north and south, divided by a boxed stair in the ell. The original house features a symmetrical facade with a central entrance. 9/6 sash light the first floor level, and 6/6 sash appear in the rest of the house. The original house measures two bays deep with a cellar entrance at the east gable end. The brick casing is laid in all -header bond. A belt course marks the level of the original front porch. This porch had been replaced and lately removed. A brick section that fell out has been rebuilt in concrete block, which will be covered by the restored porch. The ell is constructed in 5:1 common bond, The deteriorated eastern inset porch has been removed and will be rebuilt. A simple brick jack arch spans each window throughout the house. Chimneys appear in the west gable end of the main house and in the south wall of the ell. The gable roofs of the two sections were recently covered with metal. A -molded boxed cornice finishes the edge of the roofline.

The entrance leads directly into the larger eastern parlor, which opens into the ell at the rear. A small fireplace heats the western parlor. A boxed stair runs along the south wall of this room, turning in the southwest corner. A small cupboard with a beaded -board batten door is situated under this corner. The ell's stair, enclosed by the wall of a room to either side, is accessible from the west end, where a short hallway opens between the northern parlor and the kitchen to the south. Here a doorway, now blocked, opened outdoors in the west wall. A large cooking fireplace is located at the south end of the kitchen. Each room has a transom -topped door that opens under the eastern porch. The woodwork includes splayed paneled j ambs, beaded chair rails and baseboards, and beaded corner -block trim. The simple wide -board architraves are cut to receive a separate plain block set into the corner. The majority of the doors are built with six panels. Several iron box locks remain on the doors. The similar woodwork of the log house is contemporary with the ell, replacing the original trim. The second floor plan resembles that of the first. A door leads from the south wall onto the porch. An original door built with six deep panels survives in the log house. The tightwinder stair continues to the attic. It is boxed with wide beaded boards. An original beaded batten door hung on strap hinges opens into the stairway. The undersides of wide floorboards are also beaded. Several peg rails are set into the walls. The ell's doorway, now blocked, opened from the top of the stair onto the porch. A fireplace is located at the south end of the ell, The pent roof of the porch survives intact, awaiting the rebuilding of the porch structure and balustrade. The roof structure of the log house is built with hewn rafters mortise -tenon -pegged at the apex. They are not tied with collar beams. The plate is set atop the joists in the 18th century manner. The brick gables are laid around the studs of the end wall. Other structural members of the original house are also hewn. The logs are joined by v -notched corners. The ell's rafters and joists are millsawn. Stone steps lead to the cellar. Here the puncheon joists supporting the first floor level are visible. The close -set bark -covered joists bear remnants of whitewash. The spaces between these heavy members are infilled with rocks. The puncheon joists rest on the stone wall of the cellar, but they receive additional support from a central summer beam. Vents built into the north and south walls are set with hand -shaved vertical bars. The heavy original doorjamb is mortise - tenon -pegged and holds pintles from the missing door. A reveal for the door is cut directly on the jamb. The limestone walls of the cellar are whitewashed. Although the Ridenour farmhouse had been vandalized while it sat empty, only the mantels and board wall were removed. The damaged windows are being repaired or replaced with vintage sash, and the inset porch is being rebuilt. Otherwise the building remains in fairly sound, original condition.

No source of water is currently visible. Barn: - The south gable end of the collapsed bank barn stands a few hundred feet north of the farmhouse. Half of the adjoining west wall also survives. The limestone masonry is laid with large quoins at the southwest corner and vertical ventilation slits. Hewn timbers sit in the collapsed rubble. The earthen bank led to a set of doors in the center of the west side, and doors for animal stalls were found below. A modern concrete block shed adjoins the west side. A circa 1920 precast concrete silo stands to the east. Exterior metal turnbuckles secure the sections. The owner may incorporate the remaining section of the bank barn into a new structure. Archeological Sites: In August, 2000, Archeological Testing and Consulting, Inc., of Silver Spring, Maryland conducted an archeological investigation of the Ridenour Farm. In an analysis of 5,398 artifacts recovered from ten test units, it was determined that the Ridenour Farm was a typical 19th century Cumberland Valley farm. NPS Form 10-900-a (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 Name of Property WA -I-350 Ridenour Farm Section 8 Page 1 County and State Summary Statement of Significance: The Ridenour Fann is significant as a typical farmstead of moderate size showing development from the late 181h through the early 20th century. The farmhouse, barn remnant, and springhouse ruin represent the growth of a farmstead during this time period in the Washington County region of the Cumberland Valley. The house was built in two sections by sons of German immigrants; in 1790 by Martin Ridenour, and in 1835 by Isaac Bear. The farmhouse is particularly significant as a substantially intact example of a late -18th century log dwelling house expanded and adapted for early 19th century use. The house today remains virtually intact as John Bear modified the structure circa 1835. Resource History and Historic Context: Genealogical notes obtained from the. Washington County Historical Society indicate that the Nicholas Ridenour family arrived in America from Germany during the late 1730's via Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Several of the Ridenours, including Nicholas and George, migrated to the Hagerstown area by the 1760's. Nicholas Ridenour, born in 1695, married Rosina Kershner once he settled in Hagerstown. George Ridenour, born in 1733, also married a Kershner, named Barbara. Together they had two sons, Martin, born in 1754, and Benjamin. The Ridenours and Kershners amassed several thousand acres of land in the Conococheague District on which they established farmsteads. A 1777 deed states that a portion of the tract called Amendment to Trouble with Contentment was conveyed from Martin's grandfather, George Ridenour, to daughters, Margaret and Elizabeth, through his will (Liber A:5). Part of this tract would eventually be conveyed to Martin Ridenour, although a record of this transaction was not found. In addition, part of Martin's property may have come from the Kershner family. The 1783 Tax Assessment of Washington County states that Martin Ridenour owned an unnamed parcel of 116 acres of woods, 3 acres of meadows, 50 acres of arable land, 6 horses, and 7 black cows. This assessment does not provide a name for his property, although it does indicate that Martin Ridenour was a farmer. A tract called Whiteman's Prospect was also listed under Martin Ridenour's name in 1783. Martin's portion of the tract contained 135 acres of woods, 5 acres of meadows, 30 acres of arable land, 2 horses, and 10 black cows, George Ridenour is also listed as owning part.of Whiteman's Prospect. A 1786 deed from Martin to George Ridenour indicates that he sold his portion of Whiteman's Prospect called Trofills Good Will (Liber D:721). Martin Ridenour purchased two parcels of land on a tributary of Conococheague Creek from Jonathan Hager in 1789 (Liber F:374). Ridenour paid 35 pounds and seventeen shillings for these parcels which totaled 11.25 acres. Ridenour's land was then composed of sections from three tracts, i.e. First Snow, Addition to Hager's Delight, and Amendment to Trouble with Contentment, keeping in mind that these tracts were originally granted to Jonathan Hager and Martin Kershner (BC & GS #4 and #19). By the time of Martin Ridenour's death in 1795, his property contained a farmhouse and several outbuildings. NPS Form 10-900-a (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 Name of Property WA -I-350 Ridenour Farm Section 8 Page 2 County and State No will was filed for Martin Ridenour at his death. The 1795 inventory of his estate indicates that he had been raising cattle, horses, hogs, and sheep (Washington County Wills, Liber B:85). Agricultural products stored on the farm included potatoes, flax, wheat, rye, corn, and oats. The variety of produce cultivated at the Ridenour farm was typical of German farms within the region. Details regarding the extent and value of martin Ridenour's farm just after his death were documented in The Record Book of the Valuation of Yearly Rents of Real Estate (Liber A: 1). This source states that in the year 1800, the Ridenour property included the following assets, "one old log house formerly a dwelling house, of no use, one two story square log house 25 feet by 18 with a cellar under the whole in good order, one old barn, 42 feet by 20 including the floor, thatched with straw, one cabin 18 feet by 14, one ditto, 15 feet and one old stable..." After his death in 1795, Martin Ridenour's property, consisting of approximately 1,300 acres, was divided among his children, with each child receiving approximately 160 acres. Martin Kershner was the executor of Martin Ridenour's estate. Land records and genealogical accounts indicate that the Ridenours had eight children. They included: Elizabeth Coss, Magdalena Ault; Dorothy Kugle; Susannah Bear; Catherine Deal; Barbara Ridenour; Martin Ridenour; and Benjamin Ridenour. The property was held in trust until each child came of age. Guardian accounts in the name of Adam Ault were reviewed for Martin, Susanna, Benjamin and Barbara (Liber A:65, 66, 67, 68, 109, 110, 137, 153, 160). Apparently Adam Ault, perhaps an uncle to the children, managed their trust. The account records indicate thatmoney was taken from the children's accounts to pay for their "part of annual rent to the plantation". The accounts also show that Martin Ridenour's personal estate was sold and that the proceeds were equally divided amongst his children. There is some contradictory information about the guardianship of the Ridenour children. An 1807 deed between Phillip Kershner and Elizabeth Coss suggests that property may have been held in trust by the Kershner family until the children were of legal age (Liber S:612). A genealogical history of the Ridenours, prepared by Edna Ridenour, states that the Kershner family raised the younger Ridenour children after their father's death (Ridenour 1972). It is entirely possible that the Kershners cared for the children, but the accounts were managed by Adam Ault. Martin Ridenour, Jr., sold his 169 -acre portion of the family estate to Isaac Bear for 100 pounds in 1807 (Liber S25:610). He sold another 9 acres and a farmhouse to the same individual one year later. Isaac Bear acquired additional property from Elizabeth and John Coss and other Ridenour family members (Liber S25: 612). By 1834, Isaac Bear owned two farms, one that he acquired from Abraham Hoetler and the other he purchasedfrom the heirs of Martin Ridenour. Isaac Bear's 1834 will stipulated that his children would determine the value of his two farms. His five children, including Barbara, Mary, Isaac, Martin, and John, would receive equal shares of the property. However only his sons, John and Martin, "would have the privilege of electing to keep the aforesaid farms... at the agreed valuation." (Liber D: 115-117). John exercised his privilege and he and his family took over the farm. On the 1859 Taggart Map of Washington County, Isaac Bear, John Bear, and Martin Bear are depicted as having adjoining parcels. Isaac Bear's parcel borders Martin Bear's land on the west. A stream divides Martin's property. John Bear's parcel, which contained the Ridenour farmhouse, borders Isaac's property to NPS Form 10-900-a (8-8&1 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 Name of Property WA -I-350 Ridenour Farm Section 8 Page 3 County and State the northeast. The parcel owned by their sister, Mary Bear Sprecher, joins John and Martin's parcels to the south. In John Bear's will, dated 1859, he bequeathed his farm to his wife, Elizabeth. She also received one horse and two cows to be chosen from his stock, and household furniture. The remainder of his estate was equally divided among his three children, i.e. Magdalene Bear, Levi Bear, and Martin Bear. John Bear requested that Magdalene's portion eventually go to her children, in order to maintain family control over the property. At her death in 1874, Elizabeth Bear conveyed her personal property and real estate to her two sons, Martin and Levi (Liber E:662). The 1877 Lake, Griffing, and Stevenson Atlas of Washington County depicts Levi Bear's estate near the Schindel property, and was set back from the main road. Also depicted are two possible tenant houses situated southwest of the main house. This was Levi Bear's portion of Elizabeth Bear's estate. Martin Bear's estate is shown lying west of a tributary of Conococheague Creek. The area containing Bear's estates is shown as a wide expanse of farmland bounded by a road which corresponds with current Hopewell Road. Levi Bear conveyed an 67.07 -acre segment of his inherited land to Martin Bear in 1893 (Liber 100:186), The Lake, Griffing, and Stevenson Atlas depicts residential and commercial development between Hagerstown and Williamsport. The Town of Pikesville lies north of the Ridenour Farm site. New construction was concentrated along the Hagerstown -Williamsport Turnpike and near the Western Maryland Railroad Station in Salisbury, Numerous, grist and sawmills were in operation along Conococheague Creek and its tributaries. Other local industries included a brickyard, a lime kiln, and a distillery. The 1913 Map of Washington Board of Forestry map shows the rapid development that occurred in areas west of Hagerstown after the turn of the century. Because of the placement of the Hagerstown and Williamsport Turnpike and the now Cumberland Valley Railroad, the town of Halfway became the stopping point between these two important commercial areas. This development had the effect of splitting up some of the larger farms into smaller tenant farms. According to the 1913 map, the Bear estates remained unchanged at this time. Parcel 3 remained in the Bear family until 1937, when it was conveyed to Lindsey and Jean McGruer. Parcel 3 was conveyed by the McGruers to the Bowder family. In 1964, the Litton family acquired Parcel 3 (Liber 406:147). The family also purchased Parcels 1 and 2, amounting to 118.36 acres. Several additions and modifications were made to the farm complex during the 20th century. A cinder block addition to the barn was built on the south side of the turf ramp. A concrete silo was built approximately 50 feet southeast of the barn. A frame shed (now gone), possibly serving as a chicken coop, was built between the house and the barn during the twentieth century. Parcels 1, 2, and 3, previously acquired by the Litton family, were conveyed to the Hagerstown Washington County Industrial Foundation in 1996 (Liber 1256:303). (The foregoing history was written by Phillip J. Hill, et. at., Archeological Testing and Consulting, Inc; August 18, 2000, for the Washington County Coordinating Committee, Hagerstown, Maryland) In 2003 the Ridenour Farm was sold to Richard and Nancy Bachtell, who are restoring the farmhouse. They may also incorporate the remaining gable end of the early 19th century bank barn into a new structure.
