(Enlarge) Wayne Reifsnider, assistant superintendent for the City of Westminster Street Department, works to replace the hands of the 1896 Westminster town clock in the early morning hours of Aug. 3. Reifsnider was assisting a crew from Precision Repair, a timepiece restoration company, which performed a bit of delicate surgery four stories above Westminster's Main Street as part of an overall restoration project for the historic clock. (Photo by Kevin E. Dayhoff)

In the early morning hours of Aug. 3, the old clock atop the old Westminster fire hall -- which served Westminster from 1896 to 1998 at 66 E. Main St. -- got a brand new shiny pair of hands. The venerable timepiece has been a fixture in town since it was dedicated at 3:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, 1896.

City of Westminster workers used a crane from Thomas Bennett and Hunter, a local road-building firm; and Dave Booth of Precision Repair, a timepiece restoration firm, to accomplish the delicate surgery performed four stories in the air.
Clock doctor Booth was assisted by Wayne Reifsnider, assistant city Street Department superintendent. Meanwhile, Superintendent Larry Bloom, along with Jeff Glass, the city public works director; and city workers Shawn Lockard and Alan Miller, served as ground support.
Keeping the old timepiece working has been challenging for the city workers in the last number of years.
Miller said it was good to get it worked on, as he looked briefly up at the old clock. Lockard added, “I’m glad that we’re finally getting it fixed.”

If you think traffic is bad in Westminster these days, can you imagine what it was like Saturday, June 10, 1922, when a herd of cattle took a stroll through Westminster on their way to the scales at the Farmers' Fertilizer and Feed Company.

Driving livestock to market through town was actually fairly commonplace in Westminster history.

Common destinations were the train yards -- where the Westminster Volunteer Fire Company is now located -- butcher shops in downtown or the William F. Myers packing house, which was capable of processing 10,000 pounds of meat per week in what was then Westminster's heavy industry part of town, the area of Liberty and Green streets.

2010 Lunch on the Lane Concert Series Set for Fridays in June in Westminster MD

DATE: May 25, 2010

2010 Lunch on the Lane Concert Series Set for Fridays in June

Performers Announced

(Westminster, MD) -- It’s almost summer, and there are lots of reasons for getting outside. One of them is the free 2010 Lunch on the Lane Concert Series in Downtown Westminster.

Great musical sounds will abound from the Locust Lane stage every Friday at Noon during the month of June, as the Lunch on the Lane Concert Series comes back to rock the town.

Leftstronger will kick off the series on Friday, June 4^th. Leftstronger is an amazing band that performs all original music in the style of Alice in Chains, Shinedown, Creed and Soundgarden. Leftstronger's music combines all the elements of great, radio-friendly rock and roll: catchy hooks, hard-driving rhythms and strong vocal harmonies.

Skydivers from Baltimore, Maryland, will perform their pop/rock, indie music on June 11^th. Local band Twenty for Seven takes to the Locust Lane stage on June 18^th in their first appearance at Lunch on the Lane.

Sepia closes out the series on June 25^th. Labeled by some as post-punk folk rock, Sepia pulls from a diverse set of influences spanning blues, rock, punk, metal, and pop. Regardless of labels, the music is all unique and all Sepia.

Each concert runs from 12 noon to 1:00 pm; so buy a brown bag lunch, a hoagie or a slice of pizza from one of our fine downtown eateries and come listen to the music while you savor our local flavors.

The Downtown Westminster Main Street Program and Coffey Music are once again the proud sponsors of the Lunch on the Lane Concert Series.

Locust Lane Stage is just off East Main Street, across from the Westminster branch of the Carroll Public Library, between Pomeroy Jewelers and The Optical Solution. Ample parking is available in the Longwell Parking Deck and Sherwood Lot behind Locust Lane.

Main Street Westminster MD after a heavy snowfall circa 1940s

Update: Historian Joe Getty says: “could be the "Palm Sunday Snowstorm" of 1942. My Northern News article this week mentions it: "An unusual storm known as the “Palm Sunday Snowstorm... See More” hit Carroll County on March 29-30, 1942. In Westminster, this storm delivered one of largest one-day accumulations (22 inches in 24 hours) and a total of 32 inches. This was a localized storm that primarily affected only Maryland instead of the broader mid-Atlantic region. As a late season storm, the wet, heavy snow fell on trees and plants that had already blossomed and caused damage to crops and fruit trees, fallen limbs and branches and downed power lines throughout this region."

[…]

Historical Society of Carroll County has photos of the Palm Sunday Snowstorm that you could compare your image to - Ed Hailfley of Frizzellburg had some great shots of that snowstorm as well.

This image shows Main Street Westminster MD after a heavy snowfall. I do not recall where I got this image… I have always thought that renowned Westminster photographer Charles Magee took the photo after a heavy snowfall in 1946, but this is only hypothecation and in the end, I do not know the year or the photographer. If you know, please be in touch.
