The Jefferson house

Photos of Old Chesapeake City, Pt 27


The Jefferson house is still standing on Biddle Street. Capt. Jefferson piloted a steam tugboat and ran a steam hammer, circa 1910. The house is now (Feb. 2014) the home of Allan and Sharon Taylor.


The Pensel/Dickerson House today. In 1908 my grandmother had her wedding reception there and was embarrassed because the floor collapsed under the weight of the dancers.


Famous Chesapeake City master carpenter, Harry Pensel. He built many Chesapeake City houses.
