Yet Another View of the Branson Boarding House
Seems all we get are "slivers" of what the Branson boarding house looked like (not that it matters much, anyway!) but it is interesting.....and this sketch of the Western National Bank built in 1881 beside the then still standing boarding house, corner of Eutaw and Fayette Streets (which would be torn down in 1887-1888 so that the new Eutaw Savings Bank could be relocated and built) shows the left half of the three story, brick Federal style boarding house; home to the Branson family and Powell.....
Now I'm curious as to the long window or door shown on the far left side of the sketch and wonder if it existed in the time of the Branson's tenure "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
