Digital scan of a 6 5/8" h x 8 1/2" w black and white aerial photo of Deep Falls on the road to Chaptico. There is a grand allee of trees from the main road to the house and a "falls" behind the house of four or five levels. The house has a square tower on the back, four chimneys, and a large covered porch on both the front and back. The well house or dairy, mostly in the ground, is just visible to the right of the back porch. All the fields, drives, and fences are carefully tended. "12A" is in white ink in the lower left corner of the image. ************************************ Text on separate sheet: "Deep Falls early 1700s built by the Thomas family and still belongs to them taken [illegible] from the terraces or 'falls' as they are oldest in Maryland On the garden side of the house [illegible] but there is a magnificent avenue of trees leading up to it." The photograph was possibly taken by Aloysius King, editor of the St. Mary's Beacon. The original print is owned by Historic St. Mary's City, which loaned it to the St. Mary's County Historical Society for scanning.Collection
