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

Timeless art of fun and games at Historical Society of Carroll County's 'Past Times for Children' - baltimoresun.com By Katie V. Jones

Timeless art of fun and games at Historical Society of Carroll County's 'Past Times for Children' - baltimoresun.com:

A simple game of rolling marbles into the correct "stall" — also known as a slot in a cardboard box — had participants giggling on the morning of Feb. 18. The youth, ranging in age from 3 to 6 years, were enjoying learning about games of yesteryear as part of the ongoing series, "Past Times for Children," at the Historical Society of Carroll County.

This is the first year for the program, which was created by volunteer Wendy Raith as a way to attract more people — particularly youngsters and parents — to the museum." ... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-past-times-0226-20120225,0,6552249.story

Sad Times for Eastman Kodak, TheTentacle.com: February 15, 2012, by Kevin E. Dayhoff


There have been many tragedies of economic malaise in the last five years. Kodak’s recent filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy seems especially sad; and it is only fitting that we pause for a moment to pay our respects.

According to an article in The Wall Street Journal by Mike Spector, Dana Mattioli and Peg Brickley on January 20, “Kodak's board, meeting by telephone, voted to seek bankruptcy protection at 4:48 p.m. Wednesday after a 75-minute discussion of the company’s position, a person familiar with the matter said. The company filed the documents shortly after midnight.”

Then, as if the laws of nature endeavored to pour salt in the wound – and our collective memories – the venerable 132-year old icon of American hard work and innovation announced it was going to stop making cameras… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4921

There's nothing like going out to a high school basketball game with the family to give you a break from cabin fever.

High school sports have always played an important role in Carroll County. Although one may have a lively discussion as to which sport is the favorite in the county, there can no doubt that basketball — and wrestling — provide a great respite from Carroll County's cold miserable winter weather.
