613 Green Street, c. 1899, demolished

This house existed here in 1899. It was conveyed by the Will of an owner, through the Pennsylvania Trust Company, to William R. Young (1828-1909) of Havre de Grace. It is worth noting that William R. Young is known to have owned several houses on both sides of Green Street as well as property on the town wharf before the turn of the century. Young was a former Bailiff who had an ice manufacturing facility.
This particular historic house is not especially notable as it resembles many other of the frame houses built in the city around that time. It does, however, for that same reason contribute greatly to the overall streetscape of Green Street where there are several similar houses, creating a distinct neighborhood atmosphere. At various times, this house was used as a rental, including in 1945 when William R. Pyle lived here.
In 2017, St. James AME Church, next door to this house, purchased it. The lot on which the church was built was bought in 1874, and the vestibule in front of the church was built at the turn of the century—as was this house.
