Description

Digital scan of a 6 5/8" h x 8 1/2" w black and white aerial photo of West Saint Mary's Manor. The small white story and a half house with four chimneys was high above the Saint Mary's River surrounded by trees and fields. A small barn was across the road and a small hut, possibly the "necessary," was down the slope a short way. "19A" is in white ink in the lower left corner. ************************************ Text on separate sheet: "West St. Mary's Manor built about 1740 fine example of that type in sad state of disrepair It is one of the few places that is still in the hands of the family that had the original grant McKays they are in the deepest poverty and [illegible] all of [illegible] the house which contains original old paneling My favorite" 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.
