42 South Main St.

Built by Samuel Keedy in 1836, this was one of the earliest brick structures in the town. Samuel Keedy established a store here that was in operation for 34 years. Later it was run by the Cost Family. Buildings in the back were slave quarters, and the well provided water for soldier’s horses before the Battle of Antietam. In the late 19th century, it served as a clock shop and as a cobbler’s shop making so many shoes that it kept ten apprentices busy. The last commercial use was Wyand’s jewelry store, having been acquired by Mrs. Wyand through her family, the Hoffmans.
