TREASURER SELLS DEER
PARK HOTEL PROPERTY
Resort Where Grover Cleveland
And Bride Spent Honeymoon
Brings $3.50 at Tax Sale

The Deer Park Hotel and cottages,
near the village Of Deer Park, six
miles east of Oakland, and hostelry
where Grover Cleveland and his bride
spent their honeymoon, and where
other Presidents and members of the
first families of Maryland have visited
during the last half century, has been
sold for taxes due the State of Mary
land and Garrett county for the years
1927 and 1928.
The hotel, with approximately 400
rooms, several cottages and 200 acres
of land, went in three lots for total
of $3.50. The resort was sold five
years ago by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to hotel syndi-
cate for 100000, and since that time
improvements costing quite large
sum have been added.
Among the prominent persons who
visited the resort in years gone by
we're Presidents William Mckinley
and Benjamin Harrison, whose con-
slant companion was Baby Mckee,
Mr.. Harrison's grandchild. Here John
w. Garrett then president of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, died. Mr..
Garrett, for whom Garrett county was
named, was instrumental in construct
ing the hotel early in the seventies,
it being built and owned by the rail
way company until the sale a few
years ago.
Original Building Had 200 Rooms
At the time of its construction, the
hotel had about 200 rooms. Since
then two wings, each of one hundred
rooms and connected with the main
building by covered and enclosed
walks have been built.
On April 9, 1924, the railroad sold
the property to Henry S. Duncan, OF
New York City, for 100000. I'M
provements have been added until the
present value of the property is far in
excess of this amount.
About two years ago Mr.. Duncan
sold his interests to the Maryland
Hotel Company, a corporation formed
under the laws of Delaware, by Chi
cago interests. The sale was for a
nominal sum and other considerations
in which was understood to be included
the taking over of heavy mortgages
on the property.
In the sale last Saturday the entire
property was disposed of by Treasurer
Albert L. Lee of Garrett county, to
satisfy and pay the taxes for the
years 1927 and 1928.
One hundred acres of the land, on
which the famous Boiling Springs are
located and from which the hotel and
all the dining cars of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad secure water for
table consumption, went to the rail
way company for $4,000.
William Frazee, of Oakland, repre-
senting Frazee & Black, lumbermen
of Friendsville, secured seventy-five
acres, adjacent to Block Run, through
which pass the pipe lines from the
springs, for $3.50.
The twenty-five acres upon which
stands the large hotel and twelve cot
tages, was purchased by Ernest R
Jones, Oakland attorney, for $4,000
Under the terms of sale the right
of redemption extends to the former
owners for the term of six months
with interest at the rate of 20 per
cent, and until the expiration of that
time title cannot be secured by the
purchasers.
