The Foundation recently commissioned
Geraldine McKeown to create a watercolor of our lovely home. She has painted
it as it would have looked at the turn of the century. There is a limited
edition of 300 prints and they are available now for purchase. There are also
a limited number of remarque prints that can be ordered. The original is
hanging over the mantel in our office. Please feel free to stop by and see
how lovely it is. The print size is 17 X 22 and the price is
$79.50 (including tax). Price for the remarque is $212.00 (including tax)
Note cards are also available. A box of 8 note cards is $9.54 (including tax) Northern Chesapeake Hospice Foundation has
been in our home at 229 East Main Street in Elkton for over 5 years. The
house we are in was built as the parsonage for Elkton Methodist Church. The Elkton Methodist parsonage was built in 1888.
Rev. Charles Hill, the minister at the time, moved into his new home January
30, 1889. William H. Eder, a church member, designed the home. Eder, David
Harvey, and John Perkins supervised construction. The Ladies Aide Society
raised the money to purchase the lot from Captain Isaac Lort. The 40’ X 150’
lot cost $600.00 The total cost was $3,500 and at the time it was said to be
“the finest parsonage on the Eastern Shore of Maryland”. |
