C. Orem & Company Fertilizer Works 1891

Sometimes you come across stuff on internet searches that makes you say, "Huh, that's neat."

Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from Cambridge, 

Dorchester County, Maryland, May 1891, Library of Congress collection

I knew that the Dorchester & Delaware Railroad/Cambridge & Seaford Railroad went directly by the Cambridge Water Works, but this Sandborn Fire Insurance Map from May 1891 (Library of Congress Collection), shows the Cambridge Ice Company & the C. Orem & Company Fertilizer Works (located approximately 360 feet south of the Cambridge train station - located roughly west of Trenton Street, near the Trenton Street boat ramp today).

Notice at the C. Orem & Company Fertilizer Works that it is not only powered by steam coal, it has buildings set aside for shells & a bone mill.

Of course, none of these buildings exist now in Cambridge, but again, I'm going to say, "Huh, that's neat."
