 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”.
