MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY WORKSHOP July 2, 2025 The Washington County Historic District Commission held a workshop on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 in the
Washington County Administrative Complex, 100 W Washington Street, Room 2001, Hagerstown, MD.
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
Ms. Jenkins began the Workshop at 5:00 p.m.
Commission members present were: Lloyd Yavener, Chairman; Ann Aldrich, Michael Lushbaugh, Justin
Bedard, Tyler Milam, and Greg Smith. Staff members present were: Washington County Department of
Planning & Zoning: Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator and HDC Staff member.
WORKSHOP
Ms. Jenkins began the Historic Properties Tax Credit – Town MOU workshop by giving a brief powerpoint
presentation. She explained the different types of tax credits available. In Washington County, there are
tax credits available for exterior only rehabilitation and restoration for both residential and commercial
structures. Tax credits are currently available to properties located in the Antietam Overlay, in an adopted
historic Rural Village, on properties with the County’s Historic Preservation (HP) overlay, and within a
qualified municipality. The only qualifying municipality is currently the City of Hagerstown. Ms. Jenkins
gave a brief history of the Tax Credit Ordinance, which was originally adopted in May of 1990 and recently
updated in April 2024. She discussed some of the changes made in the Ordinance, including an increase
in the tax credit from 10% to 25%.
Ms. Jenkins noted that properties on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties, individually listed on
the National Register of Historic Places or as a National Register District Contributing Structure would be
eligible for the tax credits. She explained that a qualifying municipality has exterior design review
requirements equivalent to the HDC’s Historic Preservation district as defined in the County’s Zoning
Ordinance or by delegation to the HDC for permit review through a recorded MOU. This is for properties
that voluntarily apply for a tax credit.
The Maryland Inventory for Historic Properties is not regulatory; however, it has more than 43,000 historic
and architectural resources across the State of Maryland. Washington County prepared its own survey of
historic resources in 1970. A map is available on the County’s website showing this data.
Ms. Jenkins noted that all of the municipalities have some level of a historic properties survey. The Town
of Sharpsburg has a National Register District with contributing structures listed. There may also be a few
documented individual properties outside of the district as well. Hancock and Clear Spring have properties
individually documented; however, none of these have pursued a National Register nomination.
Ms. Jenkins stated that the HDC was created in 1986 and became a Certified Local Government in 1991
thus opening up more programs and educational opportunities within the community. She briefly
reviewed the County’s tax credit application. Receipts and documentation will be required for review of
any application submitted to the County for a tax credit.
Ms. Jenkins explained that the ultimate purpose of the MOU with the municipalities is to provide a
mechanism for properties within the municipalities that do not have design review to still qualify for tax
credits. The HDC would act as the reviewing agency for the permits within the municipality and would
use the County’s Design Guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for guidance. The HDC
will review permits for exterior rehabilitation/restoration only if the property owner has requested a tax
credit.
There was a brief discussion regarding reasons for the tax credit to terminate for non-compliance. Ms.
Jenkins gave a few examples. She acknowledged that the County prefers to work with the property owner
to resolve the issue before extinguishing the credit. The question was asked if the tax credit would convey
to a new property owner if the credit had not been used up. Ms. Jenkins stated it would convey with the
property and not the previous owner.
Ms. Jenkins announced that after comments are received from the municipalities, the HDC will discuss
those comments and reach a consensus on language within the MOU to forward to the Board of County
Commissioners. She will clarify with the County Attorney’s Office what the process will be for executing
the MOUs.
ADJOURNMENT
The Workshop ended at 6:40.
Respectfully submitted,

MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY July 2, 2025 The Washington County Historic District Commission held its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday,
July 2, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Washington County Administrative Complex, 100 W. Washington Street,
Room 2001, Hagerstown, Maryland
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
Commission members present were: Lloyd Yavener, Chairman; Ann Aldrich, Michael Lushbaugh, Justin
Bedard, Tyler Milam, Greg Smith and Ex-officio County Commissioner Randal Leatherman. Staff members
present were: Washington County Department of Planning & Zoning: Meghan Jenkins, GIS Coordinator
and HDC Staff member.
MINUTES
Motion and Vote: Ms. Aldrich made a motion to approve the minutes of the May 7, 2025 meeting as
presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lushbaugh and unanimously approved.
OLD BUSINESS
Historic Properties Tax Credit – Town MOU
Ms. Jenkins explained that the Town of Keedysville was meeting this evening and would be discussing the
MOU for the Historic Properties Tax Credits in the near future. She noted she will follow-up with Mr. Lung
from the Town of Sharpsburg [who attended the Workshop] and will reach out to the other municipalities
one more time.
Members provided a few suggestions to add to the powerpoint presentation such as adding photos of
other resources that would qualify for historic tax credits and the addition of a slide with key points that
were discussed during the Workshop.
OTHER BUSINESS
Preservation Month 2025
Ms. Jenkins provided a summary of the social media posts that were viewed during the month of May.
There was a lot of positive interaction. Preservation Maryland provided a presentation during May;
however, Ms. Jenkins believes this should be scheduled earlier in order to get the word out to the public
and receive more participation. It was suggested that the scavenger hunt brochure should be provided to
the Board of Education to distribute to the school students. Only two completed forms were submitted.
Correspondence
Ms. Jenkins announced that the County supported a grant application submitted by Preservation
Maryland to host a series of historic trades workshops. It seems favorable that the grant may be funded
since the Federal government has opened up the Federal Fiscal Year funding.
Training Opportunities
Ms. Jenkins reported that she attended the Creating and Updating Historic Design Guidelines webinar
which she found interesting and helpful. It was recommended that Design Guidelines should be updated
every few years. If members or staff have questions that continually arise, a list should be kept which
could be addressed in the next update. It was recommended that alternative materials should be very
specific.
The next training opportunity for members is the Evolution of Historic Building Systems webinar on July
8th at 12 p.m. Ms. Jenkins will be attending and encouraged members to sign up for at least one training
per year.
Staff Report
· A written report of staff reviews for both May and June was provided to members in the agenda
packet.
· The photo addendum for WA-I-437 (1230 Mt. Aenta Road) has been submitted to MHT as
requested by the HDC.
· The Comprehensive Plan has been scheduled for discussion with the Board of County
Commissioners on August 5th.
ADJOURNMENT
Ms. Aldrich made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:35 pm. The motion was seconded by Mr. Smith
and so ordered by the Chairman.
Respectfully submitted,

circa 1850-1860 (source MIHP)
Brick house and summer kitchen attached with frame board and batten sided addition both with common bond and stone foundation
Exact dates unknown but work done by previous owners (Sullivan) to exterior areas.
The place known as the Keller House is a two story, three bay brick house with acommon bond facade. Windows have six over one light sash beneath wide wocxlen lintels. First story windows have pairs of shutters with four panels each while second story windows have pairs of louvered shutters. The main entrance is located in the east bay of the front elevation and includes a broad diamond pane transom above the door and vertical sidelights. At the eaves is a prominent cornice with brackets. (Source MIHP)
This house is significant for its role as a principal hospital site during the Battle ofFunkstown which occurred on July 10, 1863. Joseph R. Stonebraker, author of A Rebel of '61 was nearly hit by sniper fire while watching the battle from the attic of this house. The owner of the house Solomon J. Keller, a Confederate sympathizer, was taken prisoner briefly in 1862. According to the 1877 Atlas map, Solomon J. Keller was still on the property in 1877. (Source MIHP)

SUMMER KITCHEN MASONRY REPAIRS
Uncover masonry that had, at one time, been covered when adjacent High Street was built or raised.
At some time the High Street ground was raised, covering the east and north stone foundation as well as some brickwork. A low retaining wall (matching the stone foundation) along High Street/adjacent to the north end of the summer kitchen will uncover more of the north wall stonework and hold back water from the street.

SUMMER KITCHEN WINDOW AND DOOR REPAIRS
Restore summer kitchen windows and doors
Restore four 6/6 windows on east and west sides and south gable attic window.Replace four metal storm windows with appropriate windows.Restore the original summer kitchen exterior door, frame and threshold, all of which is in great shape considering age.Due to the 20th century addition of a brick floor in the summer kitchen, about 2” of the bottom of the door was removed but the threshold is at the same level. This requires raising the threshold by adding one course of brick and raising the threshold.Build appropriate wood steps and landing to the summer kitchen door.
SUMMER KITCHEN NORTH WALL DOOR 1-6
SUMMER KITCHEN ROOF REPAIR/REPLACEMENT
Current metal roof is rusted in spots and likely close to it's expected lifespan.In addition, one corner has been compromised by addition of another connecting roof structure.
The insurance company required that the metal summer kitchen roof be repaired.Fewer than two dozen small (2”) rust areas were discovered but the roof is solid.Wire brush to remove rust and paint with matching black Rustoleum.The eventual goal is to replace the entire roof and restore the southwest corner.Replace aluminum gutters with appropriate galvanized gutters and downspouts.

REPLACE MAIN HOUSE BASEMENT WINDOWS
There are three existing basement windows 18x24” in the stone foundation on the west side of the main house.The sills and surrounding frame are rotting due to the fact that the previous owner raised the ground level after building a stone retaining wall adjacent to the pool.
There are two options.#1 to build window wells with clear plastic cover to keep out water.#2 Raise the bottom level of each window 6-8” by replicating the stonework and repairing and/or replacing the wood frame.#2 is the prefered option to retain the character of the windows.
BASEMENT WINDOWS 1-11
WOOD DECK REPLACEMENT & RETAINING WALLS
The existing deck was probably installed in the 1980s or 90s.Joists, deck and railing had deteriorated to the extent that the deck was unsafe and needed to be replaced.
Removed deck due to deterioration of joists, deck boards and railings.Built new retaining wall to replace the 36-40” slope below the deck.Use barn stone from dismantled Sharpsburg Pike barn to match the house & summer kitchen stone foundations.Smaller terrace using patio pavers that match the stone foundation

REPLACE FRAME CONNECTING STRUCTURE
A section connecting the house and summer kitchen was built in the 1970s.It was poorly insulated and partly built on an existing concrete slab (not to code) and directly on the ground (no slab).Sections of board and batten siding have rotted and some replaced with aluminum.Windows are small and inappropriate for the house.The roof line adjacent to High Street is low and a hazard to pedestrians.Part of the roof intersects awkwardly & interferes with the summer kitchen roof line.
Preliminary plans for a new connector/sitting room have been drawn up.The replacement has a slightly smaller footprint and is designed to separate/accentuate the summer kitchenPlans by architect William Wheeler who has worked on many notable older properties, from Kalorama and Embassy Row to Merrywood and Marwood on the Potomac.

From work description, this does not appear to affect the exterior on the primary facade. There is a deck
change at the rear. No mention of any exterior window, roof change etc. will send no review contact
letter. MET is also on the workflow since this is one of their easements.

Updated by Script from EPR.
Comments
Received updated material information.
Property is not contributing to the Sharpsburg NR Historic District. While work does impact the structure
view from the RoW this is an existing structure and the changes would not typically be reviewed if it was
a residential structure. Its technically commercial due to the use but as Staff, the intent of the ordinance
aligns more with review of new construction or impacts to the view into the Town which work of this
nature would not impact significantly.

Comments
Historic resource on inventory was previously demolished. No need for note as work is well away from
previously known location and is in graded/paved area.

Comments
Updated by Script from EPR.
Structure is not a contributing structure to the district and the roof profile has a very low pitch that will
make these difficult to see at normal street view combined with existing vegetation and topography.
Existing site conditions and property size also limit the placement to the dwelling. Due to these reasons,
do not think this needs to go to the HDC.
Comments
Previously reviewed by HDC through Sect 106 and also at site plan stage staff reviewed again. No changes
of note for this for this permit so not taking this portion to the HDC as they previously have commented.
