On August 19, 1845, the Independent Hose Company No. 1, of Frederick bought a lot from Lawrence J. Brengle on the south side of West Church Street in Frederick which extended half way back to Patrick Street. On August 19, 1961, The Evening Sun of Baltimore carried a story about historic (1834) wallpaper which had been removed from a home in Thurmont and donated to The White House. In October 1961 that wallpaper was installed in the Diplomatic Reception Room, upon the consent of Mrs. John F. Kennedy, where it remains today. If anyone can add information to these History Moments, or would like to suggest an item for another calendar day, please contact me privately. John W.
