My wife and I had the pleasure of staying 3 years at the Amos Mill farm house on the beautiful country side . Although the Mill was restored it is still a sight to see. Often people in passing would stop and take some photos. It was a great experience for us and I had much pleasure maintaining the Grounds surrounding the Mill and farm house. The Mill is in White Hall in Harford county as is a must stop to see one of the last few standing Mills in Maryland.
Where is this? Is it in Fallston by any chance.
Loved riding my bike to Amos Mill as a kid!!
I think this is a Aubrey Bodine photo. Always a master.
One thing is for sure, that building is not still standing.

Where was it located? I live in Box Hill North just across Laurel Bush Rd from where their house was located.
I believe this is a James Warner photograph. I have a signed print hanging on my wall ! Sadly, this beautful, old structure was arsoned in the 70s
On March 15, 2023 at 7 pm, the Historical Society’s bi-monthly genealogy series will continue with a presentation by Genealogist Mary Schweers entitled Occupations and Crafts of our Ancestors. So much of our lives are dictated by the professions we choose or are chosen for us. One way to gain a better understanding of our ancestors’ lives is to look at their occupations, the crafts they produced, and their contributions to the community. Ms. Schweers will help unlock the doors to this past. This is an in-person event held at the Historical Society’s headquarters, 143 N. Main St. in Bel Air.
The cost is $15 per person.

I waited for the bus at that corner, spent many rainy days staying dry under the front balcony. You can see the house where we lived on the right side of the picture. Not the building next to the hotel, the one after that. We moved to lapidum in 1958 , the hotel had been long vacant . the level fire company did a control burn as a training tool for the park service. Sorry I don’t remember the year.
OH I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS PICTURE! I used to work as a park ranger in Susquehanna State Park and always saw the foundation, knew what it was, but never knew what it looked like. Very cool. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, Lapidum Hotel. It was on the corner across from the entrance to the boat ramp in Susquehanna State Park. It was quite a busy place in its day.
The Hall family rented it until it was torn down. My husband and his family had many happy memories living there
Where was this? It looks so familiar.
Why was it in that location away from town? Was there a ferry there?
Please, somebody fix the caption for us all! It’s the “Lapidum Hotel.”
What a beautiful home!
Some of the foundation is still there.
Were please
Lapidum?
It's no longer standing.
Jim Chrismer? Jeanne Poole?
