New Windsor's Dielman Inn on list of endangered historic properties

New Windsor's Dielman Inn on list of endangered historic properties

Inn sprang from tavern owned by town founder, but now is in disrepair




A New Windsor tavern turned inn, dating back to the early 19th century, is among the state's "endangered" historical properties, according to Preservation Maryland, a statewide advocacy group.

The Dielman Inn in New Windsor, located at Main and High streets, is described by the group as "a 42-room amalgamation of a number of early 19th century buildings."

The inn has been mostly vacant since 2004, and much of the structure has fallen into disrepair. The Town of New Windsor bought it in early 2011, and is seeking proposals for development. But if no proposals emerge, the town may sell the site, and currently has it on the market.

Dielman Inn is among 10 locations listed on the 2012 Endangered Maryland list of threatened historic properties, released March 15 by the nonprofit Preservation Maryland.


[…]

Other locations on the list include the Pest House, a Cockeysville building that was once a home for people with communicable diseases; Bostwick, a Prince George's County site that was damaged in last year's earthquake; a Silver Spring church that could be leveled to make way for a new house of worship; and "Superblock," a section of Baltimore's west side that the group says has redevelopment threats to its "outstanding collection of historically and culturally significant buildings."

This year's list also names a working class category — "Maryland Watermen" — as being endangered as well due to declining oyster populations… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-dielman-endangered-0325-20120317,0,5450783.story

New Windsor students dig deep to explore archaeology and local history

New Windsor students dig deep to explore archaeology and local history By Bob Allen
November 25, 2011
Digging into the past can be an intriguing and enlightening experience.
But when it involves slogging for hours through shin-deep mud and frigid water on a chilly November morning, it might tend to dampen the intrigue and stifle the enlightenment a little bit.
Not so for a dozen or so students from New Windsor Middle School who, on a recent Saturday morning, participated in an ongoing archaeological dig at one of New Windsor's landmarks, its 1797 springhouse.
Long ago, tourists from as far away as Philadelphia flocked to this Carroll County hamlet to partake of the spring's sulphur-laden "wonder waters." ... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/education/ph-ce-kid-dig-1127-20111121,0,5638152.story
