The farm complex includes a c. 1850, two story brick farmhouse, a 1851 brick gable end barn, a C. 1850 smokehouse, a c. 1800 springhouse, and a c. 1900 frame barn. When originally inventoried in 1976, the farmstead was undoubtedly eligible under Criterion C, and possibly A, as a representative mid -19th century Washington County farm and with an outstanding collection of rural architectural building types including the excellent mid -19th century brick farmhouse, fine dated brick end bank barn, early stone springhouse with unusual dogtrot plan and frame smokehouse. Unfortunately, the intervening 20 years have so diminished the integrity of the property that it no longer -oossess sufficient integrity to warrant inclusion in the Register. Over the years, the armstead has been altered to suit the needs of the present owner, a construction firm, and none of the buildings has escaped alteration. The house has lost its decorative metal cresting, its slate roof, its ornate front porch, its two story side porch, and has had its windows replaced. The interior has been entirely reconfigured and interior finishes have been removed. The barn has had a series of buildings appended to it and has suffered numerous alterations including changes to the ramped entry, removal of all of the original stalls and finishes on the ground level, the in£ill of window and door bays, and the addition of a concrete loading bay. The setting of the farmstead is also compromised by a large equipment storage area adjcent to the house and barn. The property is not known to have any association with a significant person. For this reason and because of the lack of integrity, it is unlikely to be eligible under Criterion B. In addition, it is not located in any known district.

In accordance with Washington County policies, the Historic District Commission (HDC) must have the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed demolition prior to the permit issuance. The Planning Commission may also be provided the opportunity to comment if the HDC is opposed to the demolition. This letter is to inform you that the application has been scheduled on the Historic District Commission's December 2, 2009 agenda. The meeting begins at 7:00 pm in Conference Room "A" in the Washington County Administrative Annex Building located at 80 West Baltimore Street in Hagerstown. You or your representative are encouraged to attend. The Commission is likely to have questions regarding the need for demolition. If you are not able to attend you may send a representative or provide written material that would explain and support the need for demolition. If the Historic District Commission is opposed to the demolition it will be necessary for the Planning Commission to review the application also. The Planning Commission's next available meeting is scheduled for January 4, 2010 at 7:00 pm in the same location. Please feel free to call me at 240-313-2438 between 7:30 a.m, and 4:30 p.m. if you have questions. Sincerely, Stephen T. Goodrich Chief Planner enclosure STG/me \hdc\10605D'vllePikedemo.doc REVIEW PROCEDURES - DEMOLITION PERMITS Adopted by Board of County Commissioners - January 3, 1989 Amended - July 17, 1990 At the regular meeting on January 3, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a policy to provide that applications for a demolition permit for any structure which is identified in the Washington County Historical Sites Inventory be transmitted to the Planning Commission for review and comment. It is the Commissioners' intention that both the Planning Commission and the Historic District Commission (via transmittal from Planning) would have the opportunity to review these applications and provide any comments within a maximum of 60 days from the date of application. This policy does not provide for approval or disapproval of the demolition permit by either the Planning Commission or the Historic District Commission. Demolition permits will still be issued solely on the basis of meeting the technical requirements of applicable codes. The Board does feel, however, that proposed demolition of a structure with historical significance should be brought to the attention of all affected or interested parties so that appropriate measures through other existing programs or actions may be taken as necessary. It is the Board's desire that the review be completed promptly and, as previously staled, within no more than a 60 -day period. The demolition permit is not to be issued until the Planning Commission review is complete within the prescribed time frame. AMENDMENT - July 17, 1990 It is not the intent of this policy to negate or in any way change the existing authority granted to the Historic District Commission by Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding review, approval or disapproval of demolition permits in the Historic Preservation (HP) Zone. DEMOPOLICY 9606.9,1 / INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY/DISTRICT MARYLAND HISTORICAL TRUST INTERNAL NR -ELIGIBILITY REVIEW FORM Property/District Name: Eldridge Tenant House Survey Number: WA -I-691 Project: I-70 at MD 632 Interchange Agency: FHWA SHA Site visit by MHT Staff: X no _ yes Name Date Eligibility recommended _ Eligibility not recommended X Criteria: ___A _B ^C _D Considerations: _A _B _C _D _E _F _G None Justification for decision: (Use continuation sheet if necessary and attach map) Based on the information provided, the Eldridge Tenant House, located south of the MD 632/I- 70 intersection at 10605 Downsville Pike, south of Hagerstown, does not appear to meet the National Register Criteria for individual listing. The two story frame house was originally constructed c. 1900 and has had three subsequent additions to the side and rear. The simple vernacular dwelling lacks any style -defining ornamentation. Completely sheathed in vinyl siding, the house fails to convey a sense of the historic appearance. The additive appearance of the dwelling is the primary character defining feature of the building. Thus, this much altered example of a common vernacular house type does not appear to possess any particular architectural significance, and is unlikely to be eligible under Criterion C. Constructed as a tenant house for the Shafer Farm (WA -I-264), located to the southeast, the ouse was evaluated for Criterion A for its association with agricultural practice in .ashington County. However, as it has poor integrity and is today isolated from the Shafer Farm complex, it does not appear to be eligible under Criterion A. It is not known to have any association with significant people, and thus is unlikely to be eligible under Criterion B. It is not located in an area which would constitute an historic district.

The Eldridge Tenant House occupies a site on the west side of MD 632 on a slight curve in the road. The house Is oriented west towards MD 632 on a slight slope. The lot to the rear of the house has been terraced with wooden railroad ties to a height of approximately five feet. The house is bordered to the south by the Shafer Farm (parcel 180) and to the north by 1-70. The original tenant house was constructed ca. 1900 by John Eldridge, most likely as housing for employees on his adjoining farm. The Eldridge Tenant House is a two-story, wood -frame dwelling that adopts an asymmetrical ground plan. The house constructed In four stages. The first stage of construction comprises the principal building core constructed ca. 1900. This section is four bays wide and two rooms deep.

A third construction phase added a two-story, shed -roof wing to the rear (east) elevation of the southern addition. The final addition to the building was completed ca. 1975-1985. This one-story, shed -roof garage was appended to the north elevation of the building core. The building Is a simple domestic type and lacks style -defining ornamentation. The additive appearance of the dwelling, resulting from successive additions and alterations, is the primary character defining feature of the building. All the exterior walls of the building are clad in aluminum siding that obscures the original wall treatment. The original ca. 1900 building core is four -bays wide and two rooms deep. The building core is supported by a random rubble stone foundation. The roof of the building is a side -gable form with an intersecting two -bay, front -gable on the front and rear elevations.

Four symmetrically aligned windows mark the second floor level of the principal elevation. A four -light, wooden sash window is located in the peak of the front -gable. A one-story, hipped -roof porch, supported by four wood posts, shelters the southern three bays of the primary (west) elevation. The porch posts rest on a poured concrete slab. The porch roof Is sheathed in corrugated metal. The first floor, rear (east) elevation of the original building includes a six -over -six light, double -hung, sash window with simple wood surrounds. No other windows are located on the first floor. The second floor, rear elevation features a six -over -six light, double -hung sash window with a simple wood surround that is centered below the side gable roof. A second, six -over -six light, double -hung, sash window with simple wood surrounds Is located on the southern end of the second floor below the front -gable roof. There are no windows in the gable -end of the rear elevation. A two-story, brick chimney is located at the southern end of the rear elevation of the building core. The north elevation of the building core exhibits two, six -over -six light, double -hung, sash windows with simple wood surrounds at the second floor level. Two, four -light, wooden, sash windows are located in the gable -end of the building core. The first floor of the north side elevation is obscured by the garage addition. ►' Eldridge Tenant House (WA -1-691) Washington County, Maryland Page 7.2 The south side elevation of the building core features six -over -six light double -hung, sash windows with simple wood surrounds on the west bays of the first and second stories of the building. The eastern half of the building Is bisected by a two story addition. The wood frame addition, constructed ca. 1905-1925, is a two-story unit appended to the south front -gable of the building core. The addition is two bays wide and one room deep and is supported by a random rubble stone foundation. The addition features an intersecting side -gable roof that is sheathed in corrugated metal. The two -bay, front (west) elevation of the addition exhibits a nine -over -six light, double - hung, sash window with simple wood surrounds. A wooden, raised -panel, two -light door is located on the southern end of the first floor. The door unit Includes a three -light transom. Two, symmetrical, six -over -six light, double -hung, sash windows with simple wood surrounds mark the second floor level of the front (west) addition. A one-story, shed porch supported by two wood posts shelters the southern bay of the primary (west) elevation. The porch columns rest on a poured concrete slab. The porch roof Is sheathed in corrugated metal. The rear (east) elevation of the addition features a square attached two-story, shed wing. The shed - wing features a single, six -over -six light, double -hung, sash window with simple wood surrounds on the rear (east) elevation. The north side of the shed wing is marked by a single, four -light window with wood surrounds on the second floor. The south side of the shed wing is marked by a single wood door. The shed addition may have been constructed as an open porch, which was later enclosed. The south side elevation of the southern addition features a single, six -over -six light double -hung, sash window with simple wood surrounds on the first floor level. The lower half of the window opening has been infilled with wood. The second floor features a single, six -over -six light, double -hung, sash window with simple wood surrounds. A four -light wooden sash window is located in the gable -end of the addition. The gable -end features a wooden boxed cornice. A one-story, wood -frame, single -car garage is appended to the north elevation of the building core. The garage was constructed ca. 1975-1985 and is sheathed In aluminum siding. The garage rests on a concrete block foundation and includes a poured concrete floor. The garage features a low pitched shed roof sheathed in corrugated metal. The principal (west) elevation of the garage features a wooden -paneled overhead door with four lights. The garage door is flanked to the north by a wooden door with nine lights. A single eight -over -eight light, double -hung, sash window is centered on the rear (east) elevation.

Eldridge Tenant House (WA -1-691) Washington County, Maryland Page 8.1 Summary The Eldridge Tenant House (parcel 179) is located is located on a .77 acre tract, approximately 0.1 km (1/8 mi) south of the intersection of MD 632 at 1-70. The Eldridge Tenant House (parcel 179) is a rural vernacular dwelling constructed during the early twentieth century. The house originally was associated with a large farm located southeast of the house that is known commonly as the Shafer Farm (parcel 180). The tenant house was constructed during the ownership of John Eldridge. The Eldridge Farm was operated as a diversified agricultural operation that included animal husbandry and the cultivation of multiple crops. The tenant house was most likely constructed to provide housing for farm employees. The Eldridge Tenant House was evaluated for those qualities of integrity and significance identified in the National Register of Historic Places criteria (36 CFR 60.4 [a -d]. The design and physical characteristics of the complex were analyzed for their potential local significance during the period of Industrial/Urban Dominance (1870-1930 A.D.) in the area of agriculture and architecture as defined in the Maryland Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan (Maryland Trust 1986). Site -specific History In 1892, the heirs of John Shafer sold the property "contained land on both sides of the Downsville Pike known as the Shafer Farm" to John Eldridge (Washington County Land Records 99: 123). The farm under the Eldridge ownership continued to support a pattern of mixed agriculture that included animal husbandry and the cultivation of diversified crops. Though a small scale diary industry was developing rapidly in Maryland at the turn of the century, Washington County farmers continued to specialize in corn and wheat production. The two-story wood frame tenant house was constructed by the Eldridge's (parcel 179) northwest of the farm complex ca. 1900. The tenant house may have been constructed as housing for farm employees. The tenant house remained part of the larger farm through two subsequent owner. On April 3, 1937 Melvin and Elizabeth Ridenour sold .77 acres containing the tenant house located north of the main farm complex to Annie B. Zieger (Washington County Land Records 203: 537). The tenant house (Parcel 179) has gone through many subsequent owners and Is currently the property of John Russel Ueyellwn, III and Carmel Anne Ueyellwn who purchased the properly in 1986. Conclusion The Eldridge Tenant House (parcel 179) is an example of a rural vernacular dwelling constructed during the early twentieth century. The house originally was associated with a large farm located southeast of the house that is known commonly as the Shafer Farm (parcel 180). The Eldridge Tenant House is a large, two-story, wood -frame dwelling constructed in four stages. The house adopts an asymmetrical ground plan. The first stage of construction comprises the principal building core constructed ca. 1900. This section Is four bays wide and two rooms deep. The southern addition was built during the second phase of construction ca. 1905-1925. This two -bay, two-story unit extends for the south elevation of the building core. A third construction phase resulted in the addition of a two-story shed wing to the rear (east) elevation of the first addition. The final phase of construction was undertaken ca. 1975-1985 and resulted in the erection of a one-story, shed garage on the north elevation Eldridge Tenant House (WA -1-691) Washington County, Maryland Page 8.2 of building core. The exterior design of the building is simple and lacks ornamentation. All the exterior walls of the building are clad in aluminum siding that conceals the original building cladding. The design of the building is characterized by its sequence of successive additions. The Eldridge Tenant House (parcel 179) adopts a functional design that lacks ornamentation, and does not represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic value (Criterion C). Archival research does not suggest that the Eldridge Tenant House is associated with the life of a person significant in the past (Criterion B). Historical research indicates that the appropriate historic context for the evaluation of the Eldridge Tenant House (parcel 179) is the broad historical trends in domestic vernacular architecture and agriculture In Washington County during the early twentieth century (Criteria A & C). The building, however, does not retain sufficient Integrity from this period to Illustrate agricultural or building practice in the county. The exterior of the building has been sheathed in aluminum siding, and several more recent additions obscure the original configuration and design. Site investigation documented that the Eldridge Tenant House does not retain its historic setting, feeling, or association. Once part of a larger farm complex, the house is a single family dwelling that is isolated from the historic farm complex. The house was modified substantially throughout the twentieth century and has undergone four subsequent phases of building as additions were appended to the original core. Such character defining features as exterior cladding, doors and windows, and the original building plan were altered. The house no longer possesses integrity of form, materials, workmanship or design characteristic of its period of construction. Therefore, the Eldridge Tenant House does not possess the integrity necessary for consideration for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

It also identifies clusters of existing development in the rural areas that may be candidates for public facilities in the future. The zone intends for permitted development to be generally of a similar density, scale and use type and mixture as that which exists in the village. The zone is also designed to prevent large amounts or inappropriately scaled development or uses that would detract from the existing rural or historic character of the village. It is expected that development will be residential and a limited amount of mixed rural services. More than one use may be permitted on one parcel in accordance with specific guidelines. Public water and sewer may be available for the purpose of resolving or preventing health issues. Use of public utilities to permit greater density than the density specified in this section is not permitted. Section 5D.1 Principal Permitted Uses and Accessory Uses See the Table of Land Uses [Section 3.3, Table No. 3.3(1)]. More than one use may be permitted in the same structure. Section 5D.2 Special Exceptions See the Table of Land Uses [Table No. 3.3(1)] and any other use the Board of Appeals finds is functionally similar to any permitted use or special exception listed in the Article. The Board of Appeals shall not grant any special exception that is inconsistent with the purpose set forth for this district. Section 5D.3 Dimensional Requirements (a) RESIDENTIAL USES 1. LOT SIZE: Minimum 40,000 square feet without public water and sewer Minimum 30,000 square feet when public water or sewer are used Minimum 20,000 square feet when public water and sewer are used 2.

Description Page One The Tilghmanton Historic District is a linear, rural area of seventy-five acres, located along ti Sharpsburg Pike in Election District No. 12 (the "Tilghmanton District") of Washington County,: western Maryland, approximately ten miles south of Hagerstown, the county seat. The district nearly exclusively residential in character and consists of small-scale, generally modest and ical vernacular buildin s built of to , wood frame brick and concrete block. Associated with most the homes are outbuildings including barns, smokehouses, animal pens, and automobile garage For the purpose of this documentation, larger dependencies, such as auto garages, smokehouse and barns, are counted within the resource count, while smaller outbuildings are treated s uncounted landscape features. Some properties have fieldstone and concrete retaining wal encircling the perimeter of their lots; these, too, are treated as uncounted landscape features bi clearly contribute to the overall residential character of the district. In addition to the residences at their associated dependencies, two important non-residential buildings are located within the distri< th 913 Fair Play School on Tilghmanton Road; Resource No. 106) and the c. 1860 Bloom's Gener ° it (8013 Sharpsburg Pike; Resource No. 31). A total of 110 buildings are found within the Tilghmanton Historic District. Of these, 82 (749 contribute to the character of the district and 28 (26%) are non-contributing. Contributing building are those bui t within the Period of Significance of the district (c. 1830-c.1930) whose architectur integrity has not been irreparably compromised by incompatible alterations. Non-contributit buildings date from outside the Period of Significance and/or have been seriously compromised 1 incompatible physical modifications. Typical alterations to buildings within the district include tl application of synthetic siding, window replacement, and the removal of distinctive features such ) trim and porches. No particular portion of the district contains a preponderance of nor-contributit resources. Contributing and non-contributing resources are identified both on the district map at on the Resource Inventory which accompanies the nomination documents. The buildings in the Tilghmanton Historic District are one and two stories in height and a rectilinear in form, including simple rectangular houses and gabled Ma.

Most buildings are situated near the front of their respective lots and have side -yard setbacks of varying sizes. Some homes on the Sharpsburg Pike, particularly those near the intersection of the Pike and Tilghmanton Road, sit unusually close to the roadway because of past highway widenings. A diverse collection of outbuild- ings dots the cultural landscape of the district, executed in brick, wood, and concrete block, with wood predominating. The topography of the district is undulating. Although plantings within the district follow no formal landscape plan, a variety of mature trees is found throughout. The area is generally devoid of pedestrian amenities such as sidewalks. One principal roadway and three secondary roar' . ;ays { . Terse the district; all are paved with asphalt. The Sharpsburg Pike (Maryland Route 65) b acts the -district in a southwest -to -northeast direction with a right-of-way typical of state highways. Intersecting the Sharpsburg Pike are Herr Street, which enters the district from the southwest and terminates at the Sharpsburg Pike, Tilghmanton Road, which enters the district from the northwest and also terminates at the Sharpsburg Pike, and Fairplay Road, which enters the district from the west and becomes Manor Church Road when it crosses the Sharpsburg Pike near the northern terminus of the district. The latter three roadways exhibit more of a "neighborhood" character, with shallow berms and relatively narrow cartways. Architecturally, the majority of the homes within the ai; little or no ormal stylistic antecedents. The few homes whose stile draw from the Federal style and the Colonial and Dutci h b Pike (Resource No. 9) is a c. 183 ,with a formal located at 810 S arps urg home which includes an original log portion eventually cased in brick and exhibiting a three -bay hall -and -parlor Federal -style facade. The residences at 8168 and 8225 Sharpsburg Pike (Resources No. 1Q4 and 1, respectively) are of the Colonial Revival style, and 8002 and 8117 Sharpsburg Pike (Resources No. 99 and 7, respectively) are of Dutch Colonial Revival -style derivation, with the stylistically -distinctive gambrel roof. The Fairplay School on Fairplay Road (Resource No. 106). is of the Colonial Revival style. The overall character of the Tilghmanton Historic District is that of a mid -nineteenth-century rurthrnlet, located along an important linear artery --the Hagerstown-Sharpsburg Pike -consisting vernacular residences of modest scale and unpretentious ornamentation. 1Thegenesis of this distinctive sash pattern is not known. It has been noted throughout Hagerstown and other settlements in proximity to Tilghmanton and may have been the product of a local planing mill. vm ..YYi.......

The district contains a grouping of modest vernacular homes reflecting the traditions and design preferences of working-class settlers along the Hagerstown-Sharpsburg Pik( during the years between c. 1830 and the early years of the twentieth century. Included within th( district's inventory of historic resources are log homes which represent the earliest settlemen architecture of the village, a collection of modest vernacular homes built without reference to an, architectural style, two Federal -style houses, four residences executed in the Colonial Revival anc Dutch Colonial Revival style, one early commercial building representing the limited and strictly loca mercantile life of the hamlet, and one early twentieth-century schoolhouse. The Period of Significanc( of the district begins c. 1830 (the approximate date of construction of the settlement's earlies buildings) and extends to c. 1930, when the last of Tilghmanton's historic buildings were erected Th ocumentation supplants Maryland Historical Trust Inventory Form WA -II- 152, which container 1iimal documentation and narrative treatment describing either the history or appearance of thi area. The village of Tilghmanton was named for Col. Frisby (also spelled "Frisbi") Tilghman (1774 1847), who, as a young man, came to Washington County late in the eighteenth century fron Maryland's eastern shore. He began to acquire property in the area until his holdings exceeded 1, 10( acres. In 1807 he was appointed judge of the Orphan's Court of Washington County. Little was eve recorded about the settlement or developmental history of Tilghmanton, beyond a brief note in i nineteenth-century county history which asserted that Frisby Tilghman "laid out the town into lot for poor people!'2 No corroboration for this statement exists, and some local historians tend ti debunk this notion. Tilghman's own residence, "Rockland," is located approximately one mile nortl of the settlement which bears his name. The area's first permanent European settler was one John Smith, who arrived from Hancoc. in 1810. The hamlet was not established until 1834 and developed slowly, never growing beyond th scale and status of an unincorporated rural village.3 Tilghmanton' likely owes its existence to it location on the Hagerstown-Sharpsburg Pike (now Sharpsburg Pike, Maryland Route 65), which link the county seat of Hagerstown to Sharpsburg, near the Potomac River. An 1859 map of Washingto: County4 (Figure 2), showed Tilghmanton as a linear settlement of about a dozen buildings. A histor 2Scharf, J.

Significance Page Two Tilghmanton Historic District Washington County, MD of Washington County in the Civil War made no mention of Tilghmanton's having had any associa- tion with the nearby Battle of Antietam. By the late 1870s, when the Illustrated Atlas of Washing- ton County' was published, the village was shown to contain fewer than fifty buildings (Figure 3). The 1870 Census showed Tilghmanton to have developed as aworking-class rural community; occupations reported in the Census included "farm laborer," "farmer," and "day laborer;" women were exclusively recorded as "keeping house." The settlement retained this general character throughout the Period of Significance. The aforementioned county atlas included a list of citizens of the Tilghmanton Election District, but it reveals little as to the identity of the population of the hamlet itself. When compared to the atlas map, the list identified nurseryman and farmer H. N. Cross (who was a Washington County native born in 1842) as one of the citizens of Tilghmanton, along with magistrate J. H. Wade, a Virginian who came to Washington County in 1832. The other indiv, °''als itified in the list were not shown on the map. Prior to the publication of the county atlas, a schoolhouse had been erected along the road between Tilghmanton and its sister village, Fairplay (also spelled as "Fair Play"), located less than a mile to the west. The nineteenth-century schoolhouse was replaced in 1913 with a new brick building executed in the Colonial Revival style. Although the school is much closer to Tilghmanton than to Fairplay, it is nonetheless named for the latter. The namestone over the main door identifies the 1913 building as "Dis. No. 12 School No. 4." It is presently vacant with an uncertain future. With respect to the Tilghmanton Historic District's Criterion C significance for architecture, the district stands as alocally-significant assemblage of small-scale, primarily residential, architecture, along with one commercial building and one schoolhouse, all built during the years between the turn of the nineteenth century and c. 1930. The district reflects the settlement architecture of rural western Maryland, and draws generally from traditional vernacular design. tenets (such as log construction)rather than from elite stylistic influences. The community's vernacular homes were erected by anonymous house -builders or by their original owners themselves, and reflect the simplicity of design and overall absence of pretension which typify rural settlement architecture throughout this part of the county. Examples of the vernacular domestic architecture which characterizes the Tilghmanton Historic District include 8103 Sharpsburg Pike (Resource No. 3), 8039 Sharpsburg Pike (Resource No. 15), 8031. Sharpsburg Pike (Resource No. 19), 7821 Sharpsburg Pike (Resource No. 53), and the adjacent log houses at 7729 and 7727 Sharpsburg Pike (Resource Nos, • "and 65, respectively) and the c. 1840 two -bay stone house at 7928 Sharpsburg Pike (Resoui, No. o) . The district's single example of historic institutional architecture is the Fairplay School of 1913, 'Illustrated Atlas of Washington County, Maryland (Philadelphia: Lake, Grilling, & Stephenson, 1877).

Commercial design is represented by the Bloom General Stor at 8013 Sharpsburg Pike (Resource No. 31). As noted above, influence from formal architectural design is nearly absent for most residenth resources of the district. Two buildings, "Rosemont" (8105 Sharpsburg Pike; Resource No. 9) an 8019 Sharpsburg Pike (Resource No. 26) exhibit some characteristics of Federal -style desig including their massing, fenestration, roof orientation, and ornamentation. "Rosemont," the district most elaborate early building, began as a log house and was eventually cased in brick, with a thre( bay hall -and -parlor facade (It was previously documented on Maryland Historical Trust Inventor Form WA -II -1127). The home at 7909 Sharpsburg Pike is of wood construction and also features three -bay facade with an offset entrance suggesting a hall -and -parlor floor plan. The homes at 822 ar • '3168 Sharpsburg Pike (Resource Nos. 1 and 104, respectively) are of Colonial Revival design, an 7 and 8002 Sharpsburg Pike (Resource Nos. 17 and 99, respectively) are of Dutch Coloni; Revival design, incorporating the gambrel roof form which defines this particular early twentiett century American revival style. Taken as a whole, this district addresses Criterion C registration requirements on a local 1ev as a representative of a small-scale, rural hamlet dating from the second third of the nineteeni century and containing a variety of generally vernacular domestic architecture. The overall charactt of the district is far less pretentious than that found in other Washington County National Registi districts, including the far more urbanized districts in Hagerstown (such as the Hagerstown Con mercial Core Historic District [NR 1/17/83] or the Hagerstown Historic District [NR 2/2/94]). TI district's small-scale design and overall lack of architectural ornamentation clearly conveys i overriding character as a collection of working-class settlement architecture in this portion of weste Maryland. 0 MB Appmva(No. 10240018 UPS Form 10-900-a )B 86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NJlonal Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section Number Page Tilghmanton Historic District Washington County, MD Geographic Organization Western Maryland Chronological Developmental Period(s) Agricultural -Industrial Transition A.
