111-113 North Union Avenue, c. 1866

The lot on which this building sits was purchased in 1865 to serve as the site of a parsonage for the Havre de Grace Methodist Episcopal Church that then was next door at #109. This building served the pastors of the Church from 1866 until 1928, when the building on the corner of Congress Avenue became the rectory. In 1909 it was sold by James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, to Stephen J. Seneca. After the death of Seneca in 1918, it passed to Annie Seneca Sharp and her husband Cyrus Clifford Sharp. In 1934, the Sharps sold the building to Thomas and Helen Borneman—Thomas was a local contractor.
The property belonged to the Bornemans until 1971, when Helen died. It then was home to Stanley and Charlotte Borneman; however, Stanley Borneman died only four years later, leaving Charlotte a widow. Charlotte later married William Albert Putland and owned this for about 40 years before conveying it in 2014 to her son, Richard Borneman, and his wife, Susan.
This apartment complex, that can be accessed also via Lodge Lane, was sold by the Bornemans in early 2021 to Munir Averali Sadiq and Kellie Marie Boyce-Sadiq, his wife. They love living here and report that they are working on improving the building so that it's as wonderful a place as they feel Havre de Grace deserves.
