14 Washington St Middletown, MD 21769

Listing details for 14 Washington St, Middletown, MD 21769 : Every house has a story... and oh, I wish this house could talk! The property was originally owned by Conrad Crone and in 1798 he conveyed this corner lot to the Luthern Church (at the corner of Main & Jefferson) to be used to build a parsonage for their minister. In 1848 it was sold by the church when a new parsonage was built next door to the church. There is a grape vine growing along the back door fence--rumors are that it was planted in the early 1800s so the church would have grapes for communion wine. The current owner made wine last year from a harvest of the grapes and it was pretty good! Talk about loving a house.. the current owner has been a phenomenal steward of this historic home.
