In the late 19th century the Emerson Point property had two frame houses that were said to be boarding houses. A new private home was built in 1921. There is a mid- 19th century cemetery there that has grave sites for whites and African Americans. Facts: Maryland Historical Trust Inventory Form for State Historic Sites Survey. Perhaps this 1907-1909 photo of doing laundry at Emerson Point is of washing the many sheets at the boarding houses?
