More on Federalsburg, MD

A friend of mine has been posting more photos of Federalsburg, MD, so I thought I'd share two of them here to follow last month's post on Federalsburg.

Marshyhope Creek bridge in Federalsburg, MD (unknown date & an unknown photographer, Jim Bowden collection).

The first photo is of the bridge that goes over Marshyhope Creek on an unknown date & by an unknown photographer that Jim Bowden found in a book on Federalsburg that dates from 1904. I think the photo was taken from the south side, facing northwest, but don't quote me on this.

Eagle Mills, Federalsburg, MD on an unknown date & by an unknown photographer, Jim Bowden collection.

The second photo is from a postcard of Eagle Mills, which can be seen on the , I love that the postcard identifies "H.B. Messenger proprietor." The photo was taken on an unknown date & by an unknown photographer, from the collection of Jim Bowden. This has to be early in the 1900's because the photo below shows how the building changed & expanded in 1915 from the photo I posted last month from the collection of Chase Andrews (it's the same building, behind the station with the boxcar in the siding).

"At the Station, Federalsburg, MD" from a 1915 postcard, Chase Andrews collection.

You can match the siding, the telephone pole, & smoke stack (on the back of the building) in the bottom photo with the center photo to see how the building was expanded over the years.
