Property Description
In the waning years of the 19th century, 4268 Main Street in Rohrersville, Maryland, stood as a proud testament to Federal architectural elegance, its refined symmetry and classic proportions distinguishing it from the more modest dwellings that dotted the landscape. Built in 1897, this three-bedroom home with one full bath and one-half bath, seamlessly blended traditional charm with the novel conveniences of the day, making it a beacon of modernity in a largely rural community.
The house, with its spacious interior and meticulously crafted woodwork, reflected the original owner?s status and aspirations. The front door, framed by ornate sidelights and a fanlight overhead, opened into a broad hallway where the polished oak floor gleamed under the gentle glow of gas lamps?a recent marvel that had just replaced the more hazardous oil lamps.
The home has been upgraded throughout the years with modern amenities, central ac/heat, updated kitchen and baths.
The dining room hosted meals that were both a showcase of the region?s produce and a testament to the owner?s culinary prowess. The large mahogany table, surrounded by chairs with intricately carved backs, held center stage, while a sideboard displayed the family's collection of silver?a symbol of prestige and prosperity.
Life in Rohrersville during this period was marked by a rhythm dictated by the seasons and the agricultural calendar.
Over the decades, the Federal-style home has maintained its architectural integrity and continued to serve as a landmark in Rohrersville. Even as modern amenities have evolved, the essence of the home at 4268 Main Street remains unchanged. It stands as a living museum, a testament to a slower, perhaps more deliberate way of life, and remains a cherished relic of a bygone era, embodying the spirit and community of Rohrersville at the turn of the 20th century.
Come check out this historic home and become the caretakers making your own memories at this 130 year old home.
