ALLEGANY COUNTY The Flints tone Hot e 1 stands on the north side of old Route 10 to the east of Hurleys Branch Road in Flintstone. It is a large, 2 1/2-story classi­ cal influenced brick structure of early mid-19th Century date with wings attached to the east and north Cback) sides. The main portion has five bays across the principal Csouth) facade with internal end chimneys. It has a wooden cornice and beaded bargeboards on the west end wall. The windows in the main facade are double hung wooden sashes with Victorian two-over-two lights and louvered shutters that appear to be original. The interior woodwork is mainly symmetrical molding, typical of the Federal period. The east wing, greatly altered circa 1900, has approximately three bays along the street and double internal end chimneys in the east end. It sits flush with the front of the main portion. Originally 2 1/2 storys but lower in height than the main portion, the wing was raised to the roof line of the main block with a frame addition. The north wing pro­ jects to the rear from the west side of the main block and terminates with a shed roof structure at the north. It has a porch and balcony with a diagonal pattern balustrade across the 'east end. ' ....-. -.-. Three large Colonial -Revival style dormers, the center one with double windows, are spaced evenly across the roof that covers the main and east portions. A large' one-story porch with wooden turned columns stretches across the south facade. The dormers and porch probably date from about 1900 when the east wing was raised. In spite of the major alterations, the Flintstone Hotel retains much of its original fabric, making restoration possible and hopeful. An old photograph published in the September 1972 issue of the Heritage Press shows the buildings before alteration, with a one-story porch with squarish posts similar to those on the back across the entire front, a wood shingle roof, and a small attic window in the east wall of the main portion. The stone house or tavern is on the north side of an abandoned section of U.S. Route 40., about two miles west of Flintstone. The present Route 40 runs to the north. What remains here is the hulk of an early 19th century stone structure of 2 1/2 storys with a gable roof. The ^ principal (south) facade has four bays with two doors. ^All of the win­ dows and doors as well as most of the interior are missing.

These turn­ pikes were better than any roads that had previously been built, but the cost of their construction and maintenance, in addition to a profit for the owners, was amply provided for by the tolls collected on the heavily traveled roads. The need for a road from the port of Baltimore to the West was supplied by private turnpike companies. The first of these was created in 1804- 1805 by the Legislature to build a road from Baltimore through Frederick to Boonsboro. Other companies were organized to build sections of the road from Boonsboro to Cumberland. The banks in Baltimore and Hagerstown were members of these companies. The construction of the National Cor Cumberland) Road was provided for by an Act of Congress in 1811.^ By the mid 1820s there was a macadam surfaced road stretching from Baltimore to Wheeling, West Virginia. The Road, later extended to .St. Louis, carried \/ more than half of the emigrants to the West during the first half of the 19th century,, until railroad travel took over as the major means of trans­ portation. Inns were built all along this road to accomodate the many travelers, the emigrants to the West as well as the local farmers, millers and stock-raisers taking their goods to and from the markets in Baltimore. The following is a description of travel along the National Pike penned in 1882 from the author's talks with people who remembered the heyday of the road. Doubtless, the facts are somewhat inaccurate, as men so often remember the past to be better than it was: "Those who have participated in the traffic over that renowned thoroughfare are loth to admit that there were ever before such landlords, such taverns, such dinners, such whisky, such bustle, or such endless cavalcades of coaches and wagons as could be seen between Wheeling and Frederick in the palmy days of the old National "pike". And it is certain when coaching days were palmy, no other post-roads in the country did the same amount of business as this fine old highway, which opened the West and Southwest to the East. Besides the coaches and wagons, there were gentlemen traveling singly in the saddle, with all the accoutrements of the journey stuffed into their saddle-bags, and there were enormous droves of sheep and herds of cattle, which at times blocked the way for miles....

    National Road/Route 40 1811-1834, 1926 Library of Congress The National Road, in many places now known as Route 40, was built between 1811 and 1834 to reach 1910 photo of the National Road, the western settlements. It was the first federally funded road in U.S. history. George Washington and 1.5 miles west Thomas Jefferson believed that a trans-Appalachian road was necessary for unifying the young country. of Brownsville, In 1806, Congress authorized construction of the road, and President Jefferson signed the act establish- Pennsylvania. ing the National Road. In 1811, the first contract was awarded, and the first 10 miles of road were built. As work on the road progressed, a settlement pattern developed that is still visible. Original towns and villages are still found along the National Road. The road, also called the Cumberland Road, National Pike, and other names, became Main Street in these early settlements, earning it the nickname “The Main Street of America.” In the 1800s, it was a key transport path to the West for thousands of settlers. In 1912, the road became part of the National Old Trails Road, and its popularity returned in the 1920s with the automobile. Federal aid became available for improvements in the road to accommodate the automobile. In 1926, the road became part of U.S. 40 as a coast-to-coast highway running from Atlantic City to San Francisco.

  • Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Overview Frederick County, Maryland August, 2016 Hazard Mitigation Planning
    Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Overview Frederick County, Maryland August, 2016 Hazard Mitigation Planning • Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. • Mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. Federal Requirement (Stafford Act and 44 CFR Part 201): FEMA requires state, tribal, and local governments to develop and adopt hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects. Hazard Mitigation Plans • Increase education and awareness around threats, hazards, and vulnerabilities; • Build partnerships for risk reduction involving government, organizations, businesses, and the public; • Identify long-term strategies for risk reduction; • Identify cost effective mitigation actions, focusing resources on the greatest risks and vulnerabilities; • Align risk reduction with other state, tribal, or community objectives; • Communicate priorities to potential sources of funding. Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment Conducting a risk assessment provides the foundation for the rest of the hazard mitigation planning process. The four basic components of a risk assessment are to: 1) Identify hazards; 2) Profile hazard events; 3) Inventory assets and 4) Estimate losses. Mitigation Strategy The mitigation strategy describes how the community will accomplish the overall purpose, or mission, of the planning process. Must include goals that represent what the community seeks to achieve through mitigation plan implementation. Mitigation Actions A mitigation action is a specific action, project, activity, or process taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards and their impacts. Primary types of mitigation actions include: – local plans and regulations, – structure and infrastructure projects, – natural systems protection, and – education and awareness programs.

Box 222 New Market, Maryland 21774 Charlyn, LLC (“Cline Property”) 5920 Boyers Mill Road New Market, Maryland 21774 Developer MS Justron Farm, LLC & MS Charlyn Farm, LLC Acres: 262.4080 acres Property Location: The Smith Property and Cline Property (hereinafter collectively the “Property”) are located west of the Town’s current corporate boundary along Boyers Mill Road and north of Maryland Route 144. In accordance with §§ 4-401, et seq., of the Local Government Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, the Town of New Market Maryland (the “Town”) adopts this annexation plan. While the statute only requires consideration of the extension of municipal services into the area to be annexed, this Plan also addresses other services provided by Frederick County (the “County”), including police, fire protection, emergency response, libraries, public education and utilities. I. LAND USE PATTERN The proposed zoning for the Property is the Town’s R-2 Medium Density Residential, which permits Planned Development District (“PDD”) floating zones. The proposed zoning is inconsistent with the County’s current Agricultural zoning. However, the County has placed the Property within the Community Growth Limit of the Town. Section 4-416 of the Local Government Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland provides for express approval of the proposed zoning classification by the Board of County Commissioners. The Town’s Land Use Map designates the Property as being located within the Town’s Planning Area and Annexation Area. The Land Development Ordinance of the Town permits PDD floating zones, which would require that the area of the Property used for residential purposes be planned for development at a rate of at least 3.5 dwelling units per net acre.

  • Wheeling and Pittsburgh in the Nineteenth Century
    Urban Rivalry in the Upper Ohio Valley: Wheeling and Pittsburgh in the Nineteenth Century HE HISTORICAL EXAMINATION OF URBAN COMPETITION for trade and commerce has frequently focused on such important eastern Tcities as Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York. These urban giants established their preeminence in America's colonial era, but continued to bicker as new forms of transportation, first the canal, then the railroad, offered economic advantages to the city that secured new improvements. Yet at the turn of the nineteenth century new cities in the West were just beginning their struggle for urban hegemony, and their rivalries took on a different cast as the cities grew up with the market revolution and the transportation technologies that became vivid signals for a growing nation. Western urban growth was tied to trade and the initial agent of that commercial development was the Ohio River. Flowing west from its origins at Pittsburgh, the Ohio River fueled the growth of that city and sparked a secondary round of urban competition with downstream rivals at Cincinnati and Louisville. In his classic study of urban development, historian Richard Wade noted that "before a city could hope to enter the urban sweepstake for the largest prize, it had to eliminate whatever rivals arose in its own area." In some local regions the battle was uneven and the weaker town was quickly eliminated. Louisville annexed nearby Shippingsport and Portland to eliminate their competition. Pittsburgh had similar motives in moving to annex Allegheny. Farther west, the rapid growth of St. Louis quickly dashed the THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Vol.
