Thank you all for your hard work. Thomas Broad and John Board were my 7th and 8th great-grandfathers, respectively. The beginning of one side of my immigrant relatives.

There was a great peach farm near Loch Raven. When I was a kid a bushel of big ones was $5. This was the 1950s.

Wow, just poked around in Google Street view - jeezus has that play gone to hell. I mean, I kind of knew that but I haven't looked in decades.

Josias Carvil Hall is my 2nd great-granduncle of husband of grandaunt. I'll have to do more research on him, now that I know he is "Somebody"

Thanks for this. So, there were at least 2 Eutaws on Baltimore. I had thought there was only one Eutaw mansion, and its location is now in the roadbed of S. Calvert Street. At E. Lombard, I think.

I lived next to the park in the late 60s thru early 80s. The trail on the that side of Herring Run did not exist back then, so I just not now realized that I thought I knew every square inch of the park from Sinclair to Harford Road, but myself nor ANY of my friend were ever back in those woods.., Hmmm, anyway - I had no idea there was anything in those woods. I checked out that website, I could not figure out where they were digging. Any way you could pinpoint where the manor and mystery houses were in present day maps?

Just encountered an abandoned building off of the Hall Springs playground off of Herring Run near Argonne. Any idea what that’s about?
