The St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Hebron that was destroyed by fire yesterday had celebrated their 240th anniversary in September 2013. I have included pictures from their facebook page that were taken during their 240th anniversary celebration. (click READ MORE below to see the pictures).

Such a loss of history is always very sad. It was an Episcopal church named St Paul's as well that was affected by a fire in Ocean City last year.
ReplyDeleteThis fire is fishy.
ReplyDeleteThat building can never be replaced. And by the looks of it, I doubt it sustains enough parishioners to rebuild.
ReplyDeleteI can remember when it was built.
ReplyDelete116 ever hear of insurance fool
ReplyDeleteWasn't there a farmer doing a "controlled burn" right before it happened? That's what the Daily Times says. Coincidence?
ReplyDelete"I can remember when it was built."
ReplyDeleteHow OLD are you???
I just rode over on my bike. The building is a complete loss! There is absolutely nothing left. Feel kind of sad to see such a wonderful part of Maryland history go up in smoke. They could rebuild, but it will never be same. This is beyond restoration.
