That was then (1953)
Intro to chapter 12:
Mount Prospect, 201 West Washington Street, in Hagerstown, Maryland, was built in 1789 by Nathaniel Rochester, who had served in the Revolution as a paymaster. His name is widely knowns because he because at a later date he founded Rochester, New York. His Hagerstown residency proves Colonel Rochester to have been a man of taste, and it is as handsome a historic structure as anywhere faces the three-thousand-mile course of U.S. 40.
This is now. Mount Prospect was demolished in the mid-1950s. You can read more about the residence here.
