By the early 1900s this property had already been owned for periods of time by Andrew and Mary Slymer, James and Elizabeth Worthington, Robert and Laura Vanneman, and Henry C. Foster, who bequeathed this home to one of his sons, William C. Foster (1892-1942). (Henry Foster left 524 South Washington Street to his other son, Arthur C. Foster.) William and his wife Anna, however, sold this to his brother Arthur in 1916. Foster family members owned other houses on this street around the same time. In 1924, Arthur Foster added his wife’s name, Alexina Foster, to the deed for this house. In 1929, however, Alexina moved to New Jersey and sold her interest in the house to Arthur as part of a divorce agreement.

As a consequence of an ownership dispute between John Foster and others, a Court Trustee sold the property in January 1933 to Clarence A. and Margaret S. McCommons. The following day the McCommons sold the home to Charles E. Pitcock, Sr. (1882-1970) and Margaret A. Pitcock. Charles was the brother of Elghie and John Pitcock who owned Pitcock’s Hardware Store at 408 North Union Avenue. The brothers had asked Charles to move to Havre de Grace and help them in the store which he did until 1963 when he retired. In his spare time, Charles enjoyed remodeling this “old” home, redoing all the woodwork, and growing a large garden full of gladiolas, dahlias and roses. Jim Rudolph remembers that the first dollar he ever earned was from the Pitcocks for shoveling snow off their sidewalk.

In 1965, Charles E. and Margaret Pitcock sold this property to Harford Memorial Hospital with some specific agreements that were not observed in later deeds of property to the Hospital. The Hospital and Pitcocks agreed that the Pitcocks could live there rent free until the survivor of them died, with the Hospital paying such expenses as taxes and major repairs and the Pitcocks paying for utilities.

In 1970, Charles E. Pitcock Sr. died in Harford Memorial Hospital, leaving Margaret and four sons surviving him. Margaret Pitcock died at the age of 100 in 1982. It is not known whether Margaret was able to live out her life in this home or whether the Hospital took it over by then.
