Penn-North station

Penn-North station is an underground Baltimore Metro SubwayLink station and transit hub serving many buses in West Baltimore, Maryland. Its name comes from its location and neighborhood it serves Penn-North, at the corner of Pennsylvania and North Avenues. It is the deepest underground station, eighth most northern and western station on the line, and the first station when starting from Owings Mills that does not have free parking. Artwork In September 2021, the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) announced the installation of a new mural project at Penn-North station painted by Baltimore artist Megan Lewis on a $60,000 commission. This is the first new artwork commissioned for the Baltimore Metro subway system in many years. History Excavation and construction Penn-North station was referred to as North Avenue station during its planning and construction, in reference to just North Avenue and not including Pennsylvania Avenue in the name. The station is the deepest in the Baltimore Metro subway system, with its platform 120 feet below street level. Penn-North station, like the other underground stations of the Baltimore Metro subway system, was constructed using the cut-and-cover method. The excavation for the station mostly occurred in schist-derived residual materials. The underlying geology consists of the crystalline metamorphic rocks and their derivatives which are characteristic of the Piedmont physiographic region which contacts Cretaceous sedimentary formations along the diagonal Fall Line in Baltimore. Mondawmin station and Upton station, the other subway stops built in the northwestern portion of the underground alignment, are also underlain by metamorphic Piedmont material. The excavation for Penn-North station was supported by soldier piles anchored in the earth beneath it; extending through soil up to 50 feet below street level and through rock at greater depths. References points were installed and monitored to survey the impact of structural settlement on the buildings adjacent to the excavation. The area around Penn-North station at the time of excavation included two-story residential rowhouses two- to three-story warehouse-type buildings. 0.14 feet of settlement was measured and attributed to gradual groundwater drawdown which occurred during the excavation, resulting in deep-seated lateral movements which caused little observable distress on the overlying structures. Penn-North station opened in November 1983 when trains started running on the Baltimore Metro subway line. While investments occurred in the areas around many of the Baltimore Metro stations, initial plans for development around Penn-North station in the 1980s fell through. 2015 protests In April 2015, riots broke out around the station protesting the death of Freddie Gray.

Perryville station

Perryville station is a passenger rail station on the Northeast Corridor in Perryville, Maryland. It is the northern terminus of the MARC Penn Line. The station has a single side platform serving the northern track of the four-track Northeast Corridor. The station building houses the Perryville Railroad Museum, which includes a model train layout and exhibits about the history of railroads in Perryville. In 2023, the Maryland Transit Administration signed an agreement with Delaware Transit Corporation to extend MARC service from Perryville to Newark, Delaware, where it would connect with SEPTA Regional Rail. History The Perryville station was originally built by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad in 1905 and adopted by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and is located within a wye for the PW&B's Port Deposit Branch. When Amtrak took over passenger service in 1971, the station was closed. It was a stop for the Chesapeake, which ran from 1978 to 1983. MARC Penn Line service was extended to Perryville on May 1, 1991, with intermediate stops at Aberdeen, Edgewood, and Martin State Airport. The station was restored that year at a cost near $1 million. By September 2001, a single southbound Amtrak Northeast Regional train stopped at Perryville to supplement regular MARC service. The stop at Perryville was for MARC passengers only and was not listed in Amtrak timetables. Amtrak service at Perryville was suspended in March 2020 when Amtrak reduced service due to the COVID-19 pandemic. References External links Media related to Perryville station at Wikimedia Commons

Piney Point Light

The Piney Point Lighthouse was built in 1836 located at Piney Point on the Potomac River in Maryland just up the river from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. The Coast Guard decommissioned it in 1964 and it has since become a museum. It is known as the Lighthouse of Presidents because several early US Presidents visited or stayed on the grounds. History Congress appropriated $5000 to build the lighthouse in 1836. The lighthouse was built by John Donahoo and had a range of 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi). The lamp was replaced in 1855 with a Fresnel lens upgrading the range to 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi). A bell tower was added in 1880 and was in service until 1954 when Hurricane Hazel damaged it beyond repair. The federal government deeded the property to St. Mary's County in 1980 and in 1990 the Museum Division of St. Mary's County Department of Recreation and Parks began to renovate the grounds. Exhibits at the Piney Point Lighthouse Museum focus on the lighthouse, the United States Coast Guard, the Piney Point area, and the story of the Black Panther U-1105 German submarine sunk in the Potomac that now serves as a shipwreck dive preserve. The Potomac River Maritime Exhibit displays four historic wooden vessels in a separate building. Visitors can climb the lighthouse tower when the museum is open for operation. The nearby Piney Point Elementary School in Tall Timbers, Maryland is named after the lighthouse.

Potter Hall

Potter Hall is a historic home located at Williston, Caroline County, Maryland, United States. It is an early-19th-century, Federal-influenced house facing the Choptank River. The house was constructed in three sections: a tall 2+1⁄2-story Flemish bond brick structure built about 1808 adjoining a lower 2+1⁄2-story, two-bay-wide central section built about 1750, also of Flemish bond brick, then a frame single-story kitchen wing added in 1930. Each of the three sections has a gable roof. Potter Hall was originally settled by Zabdiel Potter, who in the mid-18th century built a wharf and the small brick house. He developed Potter's Landing into a key early port for the shipping of tobacco to Baltimore. Potter Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Power Plant and Dam No. 5 (Potomac River)

Power Plant and Dam No. 5, also known as Honeywood Dam, comprises a dam on the Potomac River, originally built for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and a power plant built to take advantage of the river's flow to generate hydroelectric power. The dam is included in Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The dam was originally built to retain water for the C&O Canal in 1835. It was modified in 1993, and is 20 feet (6.1 m) tall, retaining 490 acres (200 ha) of reservoir. The 1835 dam was constructed of wood cribbing, and was attacked by Confederate forces under General Stonewall Jackson in December 1861 with the aim of destroying the dam, depriving the upper C&O Canal of water and consequently cutting off coal shipments to Washington, D.C. Two assaults by Jackson's forces failed to cause significant damage to the dam. The dam was later replaced with a stone structure, which has been upgraded with concrete. The power plant is a two-story brick building on the West Virginia side of the river. It was built circa 1900 as the Honeywood paper mill. The first Honeywood Mill was built at the same time as the dam, in 1835 by Edward Colston. It burned a few years later and was replaced, then burned in the Civil War. The power plant is operated by FirstEnergy with a total installed capacity of 1210 kilowatts. The dam and power plant were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Little Slackwater The water impounded by the dam made an area that the Canallers called "Little Slackwater". At Guard Lock #5, the canal entered the river, and the boats navigated in the slackwater for about a half a mile, returning to the canal at Lock 45. For the boatmen, this was a tricky place to steer, particularly if the current was fast. On 1 May 1903, a towline broke and the boat (with people aboard) went over the dam, causing injuries and loss of life.

Primrose Hill (Annapolis, Maryland)

Primrose Hill is a historic home at 3 Milkshake Lane in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It is a 2+1⁄2-story, four-bay, double-pile brick house with interior end chimneys. It is of mid-18th-century Georgian design and construction, and the property is historically important with its direct association to the American portraitist, John Hesselius (1728–1778), who resided in this house between about 1763 and his death. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Over the course of time and many owners, and notably with the dedication of Truxtun Park, the once 656-acre property associated with the historic home decreased to approximately 4.5 acres in size. The remaining plot was sold in 2014 to a private developer, after which the historic home was restored to architectural period-correctness. The residence, with a new address of 50 Primrose Hill Lane, was resold in May 2018 and is part of a newly formed Homeowners Association, along with 25 new homes; Craftmark Homes is building the new community, called simply Primrose Hill.
