One point Of German influence on
the house is noticed in the absence
Of windows to the south. High up
on the south end of the house is a
depressed circle in the stone. AS
many of these old houses have such
a place with the initials of the build
or and the date, Mrs. Binkley's grand
father had the outer coat of plaster
carefully removed in this circle, but
could find no date At a later time.
Mr.. Binkley attempted to remove
the stucco-like covering from the
old stones, but found that the stones
had not been dressed to give a finish
ed appearance. The whiting used on
the stones and surface was a hot APP
plication, the same as was used on
the White House in Washington.
Above the front door there is
carefully wrought fanlight. To the
large front door there was a huge
key, nearly foot in length, and Mrs.
Binkley says it was quite a job to
just carry the key when they went
away.
Back of the house there is an ex-
cellent spring, flowing into the
Marsh run near by. As was des-
cribed at Sprigg's Paradise, there
was here, also, a beautifully ter
raced lawn running down to the
stream. This one was shaded by
grove of Locust trees, kept in green
sod and NEEDLESS. Mrs. Binkley has
numerous pictures taken while she
lived there which show this grove
and all the lawns and surroundings
of the house, all kept in splendid con-
dition Mrs. Binkley may indeed be
called one of the early photograph
ers locally, for she has all her life
been taking pictures and then doing
her own printing and developing
And she has some really beautiful
pictures to show too.
Back in the old days this was a
splendid farm. The Lehmans and
the Binkleys loved the old homestead
and kept it up. The big meadows
were all tiled for drainage, and the
farm well handled. After Mr.. Blink
ley's death, Mrs. Binkley sought out
competent farmer as purchaser
for her loved place. But in a short
time he resold the place to the VOL
fingers. Two things that are indici-
tive of the treatment the place has
since received are these: for one
year the house was vacant, with
some of the upstairs windows out,
leaving the inside of the house at
the mercy of wind and rain; and for
another year someone KEPT CHICK
EMS IN ONE ROOM OF THE
HOUSE!
1t is very interesting to go back
and see the connection that this old
home had with some of the out
standing leaders in the early days.
First, as has been said, Cresap prob
ably built the house, sometime near
the time that he built Long Mead
ows. Cresap then sold his entire
estate to Daniel Dulany in 1746.
Then in 1853 it was sold again, to Col.
Henry Bouquet, native of Swift
zerland and a British officer. By
this time various additions to the
original tract had brought it to 4163

there and who loved the old home
and kept it in excellent condition
Mrs. Binkley, who now lives at 1C
Hillcrest Road, told me many stories
about happy days in the old home
and of many incidents that took place
there.
The old home is standing about a
mile from Paramount, TO the north
east, only a short distance from the
better known Long Meadows man
sion. This house was pictured in
the Baltimore Sun and called Mount
Cresap," but it is better known To-
cally as the old abraham Lehman
place" The accompanying picture,
taken by the writer, shows part of
the beautiful evergreens that now
surround the house, and the giant
Silver Naples There is also a huge
Kentucky Coffee Bean tree at one
end of the house, planted there by
Mrs. Binkley's father.
1t is supposed that Col. Thomas
Cresap built the house during the
the time he owned the tract of Long
Meadows, and so the Baltimore Sun
reported. Since he sold the tract in
1746, the house must have been built
between 1888 and 1746, making it
over 200 years old. 1t is indeed a
substantially built house of stone, of
an early type of German architecture,
well designed, and deserving the
best in restoration and preservation
today. The general arrangement
and interior plans and decorations
are of such pleasing taste that DR..
Preston Miller went carefully
through the old house before build
ing his new home on the Terrace,
and Mrs. Binkley says he used much
of what he found, in his own house,
including a beautiful stairway and
hand carved mantels.
The house is built in three stories,
with the front entrance to the sec
ond floor. Here the ceilings are
fourteen feet high; the windows are
of 40-inch sashes, reaching nearly
to the high ceilings, and Mrs Blink
ley says that everything for this
room had to be made special. In
the main part of the house, which
is much older than the southeast
wing or ell, every room on every
floor, has a fireplace Above these
fireplaces are the splendid hand
carved mantels. Mrs. Binkley re-
ports that one of these mantelS is
badly charred where an unmatched
fire nearly set the house on fire.
This was since the old owners gave
up possession.
There are four large rooms with
the kitchen on the first floor; four
large rooms on the second; and
three rooms on the third. In the
center of the house is the stairway,
going up by landings to the top
floor; with a beautiful mahogany rail
and white spindles.
There are five garrets in the house,
which can be reached by a sort of
ledge from the upper landing in the
stairway. They are dark and
'sspooky' and a frightful place for
visiting children, but were loved by
the ones who lived there, as Mrs.
Binkley recalls often playing in the
garrets. The garrets are connected
by corridors to the garnet over the
