Situated close to the sidewalk at Aurora and Goldsborough Streets, the building has been extended with numorous additions to the rear and to the north. The main house is three bays wide and two and a half stories in height. Its gable roof has two dormers in the west slope; they are decorated with reeded pil asters topped with adamesque sunburst shields. The upper sash is rounded; there is a cornice and return. The bri clc of the facade is laid in Flemish bond with a molrlecl water table. Window openings have flat arches of brick. Tho mn.in entrance is in the north bay. There nre two basement windows in the front facade ; these have flat arches nnd granite sills. Other window openings arc found 1nside wnlls flanking the enclosed brick chimneys which rise in the cent~...r of each side wall. The small attic windows have six over three sashes. The north ch imney is false. Tho structure has been greatly chan ge~ since conetruction, especially in the late nineteenth century by Oswald Tilghman. Therefore , most visjble details arc from this period. Most wings clso postdate the original house. Typically, Federal houses in Easton had n two­ and- a - hali" story mnin house with a tW'o story renr ell, probably the original form of Foxley Hall. To the north of the main house, however, is nn unusual one story '~ing with a shallow gable roof. It has a Flemish bond front i"ncade and molded water table which is very similar to those of the main house; however, the front walls are not continuous, indicating that this wing is in all likelihood an addition. Other brick details include flat window arches and 1/5 English bond side walls. The cornice is shallow with a wide overhang and bold cro\m molding. It resembles the cor nice of the main house. Both appear to date from the second half of the nineteenth century. The main entrance is framed with an en~ab laturc supporteu by fluted round columns and flat pilasters. The vertical elements rest on s t one bases; the porch is reached by a ilight of five low stone steps. The double entrance doors have deeply molded panels , typical of the late nineteenth century. Thero is e fan- shaped transom light. To the rear is a urich. ell, two stories high with one room per f"loor. .rt is of bricJ... , laid in English boni:. rhc build.i.ng is covered with a gable roof, and as noted above is probably contempornry with tho 1::iain portion of the house. Indeed this portion r .. at.ts mantl es a nd chairrnils vhich have characteristic Federal period detailing. Through the yea rs brick additions were constructed along the north side of the rear wing. Consequently, the roof lines al'e irregular and tall chimneys with si11plc cai-s rise nt right angles to each other n:t the original bac1< wall of the rear wing, in the north addition near Goldsborough Street, nnd in the north wall of the old shallow roofed north wing.

Dickenson STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Foxley Hall represents a type of freestanding brick dwelling commonly built in the Federal period of Easton architecture. Although little o'f the Federal character has survived, the buildinp is impressive in its massiveness and interesting because of its mnny additions. 'l'he interior stair dates from the late nineteenth century and was probably installed by Oswald Tilghmnn1 the author of a two­ volume history of Talbot County. L27/F179 The corner property on the southeast side of Goldsborough and Aurora Streets was purchased from Joseph Haskins in 1794 by Deborah Perry Dickenson, a lddow, clescendant of Admiral William Perry. In 5116/F65 November 1805 she died leaving-Olis property to h_, son Henry Dickenson, including the house,' known as Foxley Hall, which she had built on this corner lot. The house was nametl in honor of Nary Foi:ley Tilghman, daughter of Colonel Oswald Tilghman and his wife, Patty Belle Harrison. Mary Tilghman married John Frazier in 1915. In 1816 the property was sold to John Leeds Kerr Whose• daughter married General Tench Tilghman. The property still remains in the fnmily"> having descended in line, from Col. Oswald Tilghman to his son, Col. Harrison Tilghman. CONTINUE ON SEPARATE SHEET IF NECESSARY T-30 llMAJOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES Deeds and Land Records, Tnlbot County Court House.

    Maryland’s Lower Choptank River Cultural Resource Inventory by Ralph E. Eshelman and Carl W. Scheffel, Jr. “So long as the tides shall ebb and flow in Choptank River.” From Philemon Downes will, Hillsboro, circa 1796 U.S. Geological Survey Quadrangle 7.5 Minute Topographic maps covering the Lower Choptank River (below Caroline County) include: Cambridge (1988), Church Creek (1982), East New Market (1988), Oxford (1988), Preston (1988), Sharp Island (1974R), Tilghman (1988), and Trappe (1988). Introduction The Choptank River is Maryland’s longest river of the Eastern Shore. The Choptank River was ranked as one of four Category One rivers (rivers and related corridors which possess a composite resource value with greater than State signific ance) by the Maryland Rivers Study Wild and Scenic Rivers Program in 1985. It has been stated that “no river in the Chesapeake region has done more to shape the character and society of the Eastern Shore than the Choptank.” It has been called “the noblest watercourse on the Eastern Shore.” Name origin: “Chaptanck” is probably a composition of Algonquian words meaning “it flows back strongly,” referring to the river’s tidal changes1 Geological Change and Flooded Valleys The Choptank River is the largest tributary of the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern shore and is therefore part of the largest estuary in North America. This Bay and all its tributaries were once non-tidal fresh water rivers and streams during the last ice age (15,000 years ago) when sea level was over 300 feet below present. As climate warmed and glaciers melted northward sea level rose, and the Choptank valley and Susquehanna valley became flooded.

Being among the very first to be planted here, becoming deeply rooted in our soil, and never spreading widely beyond our borders, it may, if any of European race can, be called autochthonous. Its possessory interests whether in land or slaves, those forms of property which here, until of late, great wealth assumed, have always been the largest within our limits, and its personal influence has not been incommensurate with its affluence.

Contributors are requested to use only one side of the paper, and to abbreviate as much as practicable. These suggestions arc important.

For instance) if the VETERAN is ordered to begin with January) the date on mail list will be December, and the subscriber is entitled to that number.

That people is poor indeed, that has never possessed such treasures; but poorer still that having had, has lost them.

    WILLIAM HALL HARRIS President of the Maryland Historical Society 1920-1935 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. XXXIII. JUNE, 1938. No. 2. gmiiam fall fatrt^ 1852*1938 The MARYLAND HISTOEICAL SOCIETY records * with sincere sorrow the death on April 29th, 1938, of Honorable William Hall Harris, who from the time of his election to membership in 1883 took a prominent part in the activities of the Society, emulating the example of his distinguished father, the late James Morrison Harris, who was an active and influential member of this organization from 1847 to 1898. Mr. Harris was elected to membership on March 12th, 1883, on the nomination of Lennox Birckhead, Esq. and at the time of his death was the oldest member of the Society. His first service to the Society began in 1884, when as Recording Secre- tary and Member of the Trustees of the Athenaeum, he entered on the forty-five years of service, which ended only with his passing. He became Vice-President in 1897 and in 1920, on the death of Governor Edwin Warfield, became President of the Society. A serious illness in 1935 caused him to resign from the Presidency; but his interest in the affairs of the Society never flagged and as Past President he joined in the deliberations of the Council until a few weeks before the end. A dignified, firm and courteous presiding officer, he main- tained the best traditions of his predecessors in the office. Not only at the meetings of the Society, but at those of the Council as well, he was a faithful attendant, taking an interest in every detail of the Society's affairs and aiding by his ripe experience and wise counsel.
