Description Page One Highfield/Cascade Historic District Washington County, MD The Highfield/Cascade Historic District is a primarily residential area of 70 acres, located c the slopes of South Mountain, in the Blue Ridge range, in rural Washington County, Maryland. Tl Mason-Dixon Line (which serves as the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland) forms portion of the north boundary of the area, which is approximately twelve miles northeast of ti county seat of Hagerstown. The area encompasses parts of two interconnected, unincorporat( settlements, Highfield and Cascade, which lie immediately east of the former Ti. S. Army installatic of Ft. Ritchie,' in Washington County Election District 14, which is known as the Ringgold Distric The communities essentially run together, with neither political nor natural differentiating boun' aries to separate them. Approximately sixty resources are found within the documented area, of which approximate 5(- J. 80%) contribute to the character of the district and the remaining are non-contributing fe • es. Contributing resources were built within the approximately half____ ce_n_tury Period of Significann of the district (c. 1890-c. 1940) and retain physical characteristics which reflect their historic appea ante. Non-contributing resources date from outside the Period of Significance and/or have be( physically altered to the extent that they no longer convey a suitable sense of historicity. No' contributing resources are dispersed widely throughout the area and fail to detract from the oven character of the district as a cohesive unit. As noted above, the vast majority of the properties within the Highfleld/Cascade Histol District are domestic in character. Among these are single-family residences of varying scales, well as larger buildings suggesting previous uses as boarding houses or modest hotels. Most bull ings are of wood construction, built upon foundations of stone and capped with gabled or hipped rc systems; Dutch Colonial Revival -style buildings exhibit the distinctive gambrel roof which defin that particular design mode. Fenestration incorporates flat-topped windows with double -hung sas Variations on the flat-topped window form are found in some oIori>al Revival -style proper ies w 1I incorporate Palladian windows. Many buildings retain their historic brick chimneys; the Queo Anne -style "Stone Manor" at 25624 Military Road, built of ashlar stone, features tall brick chimne with corbeled ornament. Chimneys on other properties have been removed, likely with the install tion of central heating systems. Typical of mountain resort communities many of the homes reta broad wood verandas which often extend across more than one elevation. Due to the topograpk many o ese are foun along e south side of Military Road, including the Hilltop Apartments 2' 25 Military Road, as well as 25461, 25502, 25613, and 25461 Military Road, and the aforeme Lied "Stone Manor." (When the Army closed Ft. Ritchie, the property was transferred to a private -sector community development corporation for re -use.

Description Page Two Highfield/Cascade Historic District Washington County, MD The topography of the district is somewhat rugged, since the communities are situated on thi side of the Blue Ridge. Many of the buildings are on spacioug lots with well -maintained lawns mature trees, and other landscape features. Building setbacks vary considerably, ranging from largi expanses of setback from all sides to others lots with comparatively little setback.

Significance Page On Highfield/Cascade Historic District Washington County, MD This documentation of the Highfield/Cascade Historic District was undertaken with referent to National Register Criterion C, for architecture, characterizing the investigated area as an inta( Western Maryland mountain resort community, residential in character, dating from the late nin( teenth and early twentieth century. This document supplants Maryland Historical Trust Inventor No. WA -IV -057, which included minimal narrative and photographic documentation of the area. 'It district is of particular significance to Washington County and to western Maryland as the tangib. reflection of technological advance (namely, the development of the railroad) upon the growth i recreational and leisure activities, evidenced in the. predominating character of the documented arc as a resort community. The Period of Significance for the district begins c. 1890 and ends c. 194( dates which span the approximate dates of construction of the area's historic resources and encon pi -the formative years of popularity of the area as a summer resort. The district consists of smal a medium scale domestic architecture executed in several of the architectural sues popul< imp the Period of Significance, including Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revive Little information exists regarding either the genesis or the subsequent development of thee two communities, portions of which were referenced on early maps as "Germantown." The settle ments were never incorporated and are typical of a series of similarly -sized Blue Ridge Mountai communities which straddle the Pennsylvania -Maryland border within five miles of each other: Pe Mar, Blue Ridge Summit, Monterey, Charmain, Cullen, Highfield, and Cascade. Among thes Cascade, Highfield, and Blue Ridge Summit spill over into each other without regard for politic. jurisdictional boundaries, and, according to a local newspaper article, have stories and "exar histories and boundaries [which] are so diverse as to be legendary."2 In 1872, the Western Maryland Railway, under the inspired presidency of former Confedera Army engineering officer John Mifflin Hood, completed its line into this portion of Washingtc County. Stations were established at nearby Pen Mar (site of the WMRR's celebrated resort/ pat and at Highfield; both of these stations were across the Mason-Dixon Line in Pennsylvania ar neither are extant. In the 1877 Illustrated Atlas of Washington County,3 very few buildings a depicted on the future site of Highfield and Cascade (See Fig.. 1); it is likely that few, if any, of the: early buildings survive. In August, 1877, the railroad opened Pen Mar Park, about one mile west the nominated area, and the development of this regionally -famous outdoor attraction, combines 2Minnick, Rosemary, "Why Some Washington County Towns Were Named," unattributed clipping in the files of the Washington County Historical Society, Hagerstown, Maryland. 3An Illustrated Atlas of Washington County, Maryland (Philadelphia: Lake, Griffmg, & Stephenson, 1877).

Significance, Page Two with the marketing of the slopes of the Blue Ridge as a summer retreat, contributed significantly t the development of the Highfield/Cascade area. In chronicling the history of Pen Mar, Judit Schlotterbeck reproduced an unattributed late nineteenth-century newspaper comment regardin the flurry of activity in the entire area: A building boom has hit the Blue Ridge Summit) The entire slope between the Summit and Highfield is just specked with new buildings. Quite a village has sprung up in the last few months and the sign [sic] looks as though this trend will continue.4 An unattributed 1903 regional map, (Figure 3), reproduced in a Washington County historic( magazine,5 shows major development along the slopes of the mountain, suggesting that many --area r :he two communities were fully developed by that time. Schlotterbeck reported that "by th. ;.,arl EJ0s there were over one hundred hotels and boarding houses in the Pen Mar vicinity [within whic: is the nominated area] serving thousands of summer guests."6 Most of these hotels were of woo construction and either burned or were demolished after the railroad razed Pen Mar park in the earl 1940s and passenger service was discontinued to the area shortly thereafter. Post Offices wer established at Highfield and Cascade in1890 and 1898, respectively; the Highfield Post Office wa closed and at the time of writing the Cascade Post Office serves both communities from a rnoder building on Military Road, outside the district to the east. As the popularity of the area increased, the Western Maryland Railroad instituted excursion into the Blue Ridge from Baltimore and similar urbanized areas. To serve the throngs which begat to visit, the Buena Vista Ice Company acquired 638 acres and created two lakes just west of th district, on the eventual site of Ft. Ritchie. During the first forty years of the twentieth century, th area remained popular with a broad spectrum of vacationers, some; of whom carne to take up resi dence in the area's boarding houses, while others occupied their own summer homes, with spaciou lawns and magnificent mountain viewsheds. The Hagerstown newspaper commented on the charac ter of the area, noting, "If ever a town could be successful at hiding from the world while sitting i) the middle of it, it will be Cascade"7 4Schotterbeck, Judith A.

Within the historic district were two hotels, the Hotel Maryland and Highfield Springs, with combined capacity of one hundred seventy-five guests. A series of cottages in Highfield could accon modate an additional two hundred fifty. These include the Afton and Pine Hill Cottages, the Mar land Inn, Quirauk View, Chestnut Grove, Mountain View, Maple, Wantz's, Chestnut, Midview Housi Rose Villa, Laurel Grove, Jester, and Fox House.8 The status of these facilities has not been dete: mined. The heyday of the Highfield/ Cascade Historic District matched that of the nearby Pen ME Historic District, whose fortunes rose and ebbed with those of the Western Maryland's playgroune par'- at Pen Mar. The Highfield/Cascade Historic District was inextricably linked with the passengt sc e of the Western Maryland Railway. With the rise of the automobile in the 1920s and 30s, tf 1 clarity of rail passenger travel faded. Passenger service to the area was discontinued in tl 1940s, Pen Mar Park was dismantled 1943, and the entire area, including the Highfield/Cascac communities, shed its shared character as a seasonal railroad resort. While some seasonal occi pancy continues at the time of writing, after the 1940s the area settled into a subdued existence a primarily year-round rural residential community nestled into the mountains. Due to its relative: isolated location atop the Blue Ridge range, the documented area nonetheless continues to cone its historic sense of a nineteenth- and early twentieth-century resort community. With reference to Criterion C, the Highfield/Cascade Historic District is significant because its concentration of historic resort architecture, large and small, representing many of the styles design which were in vogue throughout the Period of Significance. Within the historic district, tt Queen Anne style, with a typically irregular plan, multiple roof system, and corner tower is repri sented by the "Stone Manor" at 25624 Military Road. The Dutch Colonial Revival style -represents by 25625 Military Road --incorporates design features from the pre-Revolutionary War Dutch settl' ments in and around New York and always includes a distinctive multiple -pitched gambrel roof. T1 Bungalow is a purely twentieth-century American design style, and is typically one- to one and on, alf-stories in height and incorporates a recessed front porch shielded by an integral sloping ro which is often punctuated by dormers; within the district, Bungalows include 25459 Military Roal 25501 Military Road, and 14614 Hilltop Road. Viewed in its entirety, the Highfield/Cascade Historic District stands as a generally cohesi' 'action of largely domestic buildings dating from the fifty-year period between c. 1890 and c. 194 Which represents specific architectural styles and associated with the communities' ties to the ra 8schlotterbeck, op. cit. p. 122.
