Ellicott City Maryland
Model of town as it may have appeared
in the Nineteenth Century
Model Diorama by Mr. Kirchman

When the three Ellicotts migrated to the banks of the
Patapsco from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, they found
a 'picturesque wilderness.' By the turn of the Century
they had established a thriving community. Then came
railroads and romanticism. 'Castle Angelo' is one great
example of American Romantic Architecture.

When Mr. Kirchman photographed it, it had been covered
in aluminum siding! The siding was applied vertically on
the turrets and was 'most unusual to behold.'
