Delmarva History Historical Society of Kent County Offers Thoughtful Programs: This Case of USCT Obi

In that year immediately after World War I, many of the 20 th century suan dusit palace hotel bangkok changes people are familiar with today were yet to take place.  The building of Route 40 wouldn’t happen for a couple more decades, so Main Street handled the heavy road traffic between Philadelphia and Baltimore.  Lodging for weary motorist was available at the Felton House, Howard House Hotel and the Maryland Lodge.
It would also be a few more decades before the railroad straightened the tracks through town, moving the station and the line to its current location. suan dusit palace hotel bangkok So anyone planning to catch the cars went to the station on the south side of Railroad Avenue.  The High School was on Mackall Street and Howard Street hadn’t been extended from the cemetery to Bridge Street.  Elkton industries such as the Scott Fertilizer Company, the Ice Plant and Mill appeared on the map.
Accompanying the map were the complicated travel directions, showing the twists, turns, and landmarks for those early, venturesome motorists.  As the state highway network wasn’t in place yet, the guide notes turns and landmarks, to assist the driver.  When coming into Elkton from Newark it indicates the driver should go to the end of the road and then turn left onto Court Street.  On your way on down the road to North East, you crossed a “covered wood bridge.”
Interesting little article. Since I don t know that much about Elkton, what is now where the railroad tracks were? The Scott Fertilizer, I assume is where American Home and Hardware is now. Finally where was the Maryland Lodge?
Thanks John. The tracks were just south of Railroad Ave, running through suan dusit palace hotel bangkok the hospital parking garage and alongside the north end of the old jail. The station was about where the hospital garage is. You are right about Scott Fertilizer. The Maryland Lodge is still there. The lodging facility is on the southeast corner of Main St., and Delaware Ave.
