Frayed end of an era: This was the intersection of Spencerville Road (Route 198) and Old Columbia Pike in Burtonsville c.1910. In this view looking west, Spencerville Road branches off to the right. The ramshackle building was a blacksmith shop operated by Horace Harrison and Joe Athey. The leaning light pole at left completes the scene of decay. Today the site holds the busy Burtonsville branch of the Sandy Spring bank.
