I am looking for information about the Harford Convalescent Home, located in Street. Family owned it. I can’t find anything on Google.
CONOWINGO DAM
In the Roaring Twenties, America buzzed with energy and innovation as an electric revolution swept across the country. Enlisting Mother Nature to lead the charge, the mighty Susquehanna River was harnessed in 1928 by one of the larges hydroelectric works ever seen: Conowingo Dam. This feat of engineering, adorned with an art deco charm, is a landmark known by many but understood by few.
The time of the Conowingo Dam construction, 1927 and 1928, was one of tremendous growth for Stephenson Lodge, No. 135 and for Darlington, Maryland. In 1927, our membership grew from fifty-three to seventy-eight members. That year twenty-nine meetings were held, and ninety-three degrees were conferred. While in 1928, thirty meetings were held with eighty-two degrees being conferred. The membership rose to one hundred and six. More Degrees were conferred during those two years than would be in the next twenty years.
Stephenson Lodge will present an hour long documentary on the Conowingo Dam created by Maryland Public Television on January 16 at Stephenson Lodge, 2115 Shureville Road in Darlington. Right across from the Darlington Methodist Church. Open to the public.
As a bonus for the history buffs, see inside the old Darlington Academy building, built in the 1890's, and see images of the classes that attended. Many of the original architecture elements still exist.
If you are a fan of Harford County/Darlington history, you won't want to miss this.
