Page _i_. County and State General Description: The Pine Street Neighborhood Historic District comprises a large section of the city of Cambridge in Dorchester County, Maryland. Abutting an existing historic district on its southern and western boundaries, the Pine Street district comprises the largely African- American neighborhood that developed along its principal streets of Pine, High and Washington over the course of one-hundred and fifty years. Beginning during the first quarter of the nineteenth century on the periphery of the city of Cambridge, near the current intersection of High and Pine streets, small town lots were acquired by the city’s population of free blacks. Situated on High Street near this intersection is the Waugh 2015 Chapel United Methodist Church, a large neo-Gothic brick structure rebuilt in the late century as a near replica of a Victorian sanctuary built in 1901. The congregation of free black members was established in 1826. It was in this general vicinity that continuous white owned residences and businesses ended and free black properties began. The chain of title for the former Samuel LeCompte house at 416 High Street (D-799). an early nineteenth century Federal frame dwelling, includes mention around 1860 of its adjacent neighboring property. the house and lot owned and occupied by free black Cassey Kennard.’ The outlines and indications of a house on this lot during the third quarter of the nineteenth 2 The earliest buildings that defined the century point to a small one-room plan structure. district, those dating from c. 1820 to 1870, have not survived. The oldest standing structures in the district include a small group of owner- occupied or rental housing dating from the fourth quarter of the nineteenth century. Several of the owner-occupied houses, built by successful black businessmen, include the Cyrus St. Clair. Jr. house ((D-800) at 423 High Street. or the Lemuel Kiah house (D-80 I)
