F-5-45 Woodville General Store Woodvi 11 e Private

c. 1873

The Woodville General Store, a simple two story frame building, three bays wide with a flat tin roof finished by a plain cornice with dentiled friezework and scrolled brackets, has changed little since it was built during the second half of the nineteenth century.

By 1873, according to the Titus Atlas of Frederick County, a store was located where the frame store currently stands. In a book on the Post Offices of Frederick County for the year of 1887 the store is mentioned as follows, "The village (Woodville) supports well a fine general store, kept by F. S. Clary esquire, who for many years has conducted the business successfully."

The Clary House is a tv.io-section log dwelling built al::XJut 1800 with an

unusual perpendicular service wing projecting frcm the front of the rrain

section. It has beaded clapl:Dard siding and a three-bay rrain elevation with a

side hall plan. The doorway has a fanlight with replaced textured glass and

reed ITDlding in the door surround. The interior is a rehabilitation in

progress, with the log structure of the hall exp::>sed by the rerroval of the

plaster and lath wall surface. This revealed the signature of a builder next

to the front door. The chair rail and basel:Dard are still in place in the

hall, as are the scroll closer details. The side parlor in the first story has

an Adam style rrantelpiece with paired dowel-shaped side coh.nms and a fluted

elliptical panel. A flanking cupl:Dard has raised panel doors. The house has

tv.io log outbuildings, a srrokehouse and a springhouse of al::XJut 1800, and a buggy

shed which nay be an altered late 19th century wagon shed/com crib. The Clary

House is ITDderately significant in architecture for its original exterior

siding, interior trim details, and log structure, which indicate a strong

probability for providing infornation on late 18th and early 19th century

building technology. The WCXJdville General Store is a tv.io-story frarre building

with a bracketed and dentiled Renaissance Revival cornice built al::XJut 1850 and

is a good exarrple of a mid-19th century rural carrnercial building. Its

distinctive cCll'ITercial style is unusual arrong srrall rural stores of the period

in Frederick County.

'Ihe Clary House is a two-story log L-shaped dwelling tuilt a1:>out 1800 with claplx>an:l sic::tin:J and three associated danestic outl:uilc::lin:Js, a log srocikehouse, a log sprin3haJse, and a frane garage or l::uggy shed, and, on the same parcel, a circa 1850 fraire general store tuilc::lin:J, the WOodville General store. 'Ihe tuilc::lin:Js are located on the northwest co:rner of the intersection of WOodville and Bottan Roads, near Mt. Airy, Frederick cowrt:y, Maryland. 'lhe tuilc::lin:Js were historically at the center of the rural village of WOodville, which grew arourrl a mill (now dem::>lished) and once had at least four dwellings, a wagon shop, and a secon:i store by 1873. 'Ihe surviving store is now used as a works.hq> by Geoffrey Bouton, one of the current CMnerS of the Clary House. 'lhe store has a painted sign reading "l'Kx:ldville settled 174011 , rut the architectural style, land records, and historical maps in:lica.te the date of the store to :be a1:>out 1850. 'Ihe date of the Clary House is based on the architectural evidence, land records, historical maps, and a biograiirical sketch of Jesse E. Clary in the 1910 History of Frederick COUnty.

'Ihe Clary House is unusual in the placement of its L-shaped plan, with the main section facing east and the perperrlicular section projecting eastward fran the northeast errl of the house. '!his placement was probably driven by the spring site located just northeast of the dwelling, fran which the outflow follows the slq;>e o-F the site downward toward the south to join WOodville Branch, the stream flowing f:r southeast to northwest just south of the road intersection. Although the date ot opening of the present WOodville Road is unknown, it is likely that the route had been established by 1800, causing the Clary House to :be located close to the spring. 'Ihe reasons for the perperrlicular wing instead of a side service wing, a plan frequently used in the late 18th and early 19th century, are not clear fran the material evidence.

'!he east elevation of the main section has three bays with the entrance in the north errl bay. 'lhe exterior is covered with beaded clapboards and a one-story p::>rch follows the angle of the L to continue on the south elevation of the wing. 'Ihe p::>rch has a IOOdern replacement 'wood deck and has tenporary suwcrts holc::lin:J the standing seam netal roof. 'Ihe doorway has an arched fanlight with replacement textured glass and reed 100lc::lin:Js on the lintel arrl architrave. 'Ihe door has five panels. '!he win::k7Ns have 9 / 6 sash on the first story and 6 / 6 on the secon:i story. sane original glass is still in place in the first story win:lc1Ns. I.ouvred shutters flank the winiows. '!he roof is corrugated netal with a boxed cornice. An interior c.hlim1ey is at the south gable errl, with only 2/2 attic wirrlows flanki.nJ the stack. '!he south side of the wing has three bays on the first story and two on the secon:i. '!he door is an 8-panel type with raised circular panels. A four-light transcm is above the door. '!he winiows are the same style as on the main section. '!he east gable errl of the wing has a new win:low opening at the first story center, below which sane of the sic::tin:J has been rem;:wed, revealing the log structure An interior c.hllm1ey is located near the junction of the two sections.

Prepare both a summary paragraph of significance and a general statement of history and support.

'lhe Clary Hoose is m::rlerately significant in architecture for its original materials, includin:J the log structure bearing the recently exposed name of one of the l:uilders, the Adam style interior trim of the south parlor arxi the stairhall, the exterior doorways, arxi the beaded clapboard siding. Although presently uooergoing rehabilitation arxi with alterations apparent on both the exterior am the interior, the house ~ to contain considerable potential for providing information on late 18th arxi early 19th century construction techniques. 'lhe house may have been l:.uilt by Benjamin Clary, for wham the tract on which the house starxis, "Resurvey on Moab", was surveyed in 1762, or Jesse Clary (ca. 1782-1849). 'lhe T.T-OOVille General store is also :nro.erately significant in architecture for its

rgely uncharged exterior awearance, which is that of a typical ccmnercial l:uilding of the mid-19th century, with Renaissance Revival details. It is unusual in the context of rural general stores in Frederick County for its form arxi style, which are more cx:mron to urban or small ta.In stores rather than to a village setting. 'lhe store is also :nro.erately significant in c:x:mrerce as a good exanple of a mid-19th century rural ccmnercial l:uilding. 'lhe store was ai:parently l:.uilt by Jesse T. Clary (born 1824) who opened the l:usiness after his marriage in 1847, according to the Williams & M::Kinsey History of Frederick County. 'Ihe store apparently remained in the Clary family until 1896 arxi was later cperated by the Wilson family, 'Who also had a secorrl store located across Woodville Road to the east, which has not survived. 'lhe store am the Clary House were separately owned, although often by the same family over time. By the 1920's, the house am the store were sold together am they have remained part of the same property to the present. 'lhe date of the store's closing is not yet known.

Clary House and Wocx:iville General Store Frederick County

7 .1 Description (Continued)

SUrvey No. F-5-45

The stone foundation of the house is exposed on this elevation, and a vertical board cellar entrance is directly belCM the rear hall door. A rear porch was undoubtedly originally on the west elevation, but was rerroved at an unknown date. The siding on the west end of the wing is genren and is separated fran the clapboard siding of the main section by a vertical board covering the joint between the two sections. The bay arrangerrent is irregular and only one 9 / 6 wind.CM survives on this side, the rest being 1/1, 6/6, or 2/2 replacerrents. A projecting enclosed shed-roofed addition stands at the northwest corner, cantilevered over the foundation and supported on two posts. The north elevation of the house was not clearly observed, being enclosed by a rrodern board fence between the house, the buggy shed, and the east elevation of the springhouse. The north elevation has a shed-roofed one-story porch and at least three irregularly spaced bays.

The interior of the house is being rehabilitated and the plaster over lath wall finish has been rerroved in the side hall, revealing the log structure. To the left of the main doorway is a painted signature, undoubtedly that of the builder. It appears to be "Himrof", but no information has yet been located to identify the name further. The chair rail and baseboard remains in place, as do the fluted door architraves with bull's-eye corner blocks. The staircase has scrolled closer decoration, which is partially concealed by an added enclosed space at the rear of the hall. The chamfered newel and plain railing appear to be original. At the landing of the two-run open stairway, a windCM in the west elevation has been reduced in size, revealed by the plaster rerroval in the log structure. In the south parlor of the first story is a mantelpiece in the Adam style with a fluted elliptical center panel and paired, shaped d.o.vel pilasters flanking the opening. To the right of the mantel is a cupboard with raised panel doors. The shelves have been replaced, but were probably originally of the shaped profile typical of the Adam and Georgian styles.

Springhouse: The log springhouse was observed fran a distance, as access to the structure was not possible at the time of the survey. The exterior has been painted yellow to match the color of the main dwelling and the buggy shed. The east gable has german siding and repairs have been made to sections of the log walls where deterioration has taken place. Plain boards and other patching materials are evident. The west gable is missing. The roof is corrugated metal . The date of the springhouse' s log parts is probably about 1800.

Buggy shed: The buggy shed is thus described because it resembles a wagon shed with a side storage rcx::m, but the center opening is lower than the usual opening in a wagon shed. One possible explanation is that the building is in fact a wagon shed/com crib fran which the original stone piers lifting the structure above ground level have been rerroved. The flooring is poured concrete and the building is used as a garage. The exterior is vertical boards painted yellow to match the main dwelling and the springhouse. The roof is standing seam metal. The shed was probably built about 1890.

Srrokehouse: The log srrokehouse is on the west side of the spring outflow near the northwest corner of the house. It has whitewashed log walls and a vertical board door on the east elevation. The roof is corrugated metal. The srrokehouse was probably built about 1800-1815.

DESCRIBE THE PRESENT ANO ORIGINAL (IF KNOWN) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

The Woodville General Store is a simple two story frame structure which faces east from the west side of Woodville Road in Woodville.

The old store is banked against the road; a random stone foundation accomodates a full basement. The principal facade of the building is three bays wide. The main entrance of twin paneled doors with a narrow three light transom, is located in the second bay. Occupying the remain­ing bays on the first and s~cond levels are long double hung 2/2 windows with replaced shutters. The bottom half of the window in the first bay on the second level is missing. A one bay wide entrance porch is located over the front entrance. The entire building is constructed of fine leveled clapboarding. A simple flat tin roof is finished by a plain cornice with dentiled friezework and scrolled brackets on the face of the building.

A hand painted sign in the second bay in the second bay on the second level is lettered "Woodville Settled 1740 11

• A single flight of stairs leads to the second level of the store along the north side of the build­ing.

The building is currently being used as a furniture refinishing shop and is one of only a few buildings left in the vicinity which indicate the location of the settlement of Woodville.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The Woodville General Store stands relatively unchanged from when it was built in the second half of the 19th century.

By 1873 according to the Titus Atlas of Frederick County, a store was located where the frame store currently stands.

In a bock on the Post Offices of Frederick County for the year of 1887 the store is mentioned as follows, 11 The village (Woodville) supports well a fine general store, kept by F.S. Clary esquire, who for many years has conducted the business successfully."!

The store is one of the few reminders on Woodville Road that a small village once was active in this location.
