Towering Ferry Street site eyed for city hall project
Decatur Housing Authority cleared the path for city hall by securing funds to acquire the remaining site. A court appointed appraisal valued Thomas Z Bailey property on Davis Street at 146750 after Bailey refused an offer of 135000 for land including the Albany Coal and Grain Co warehouse. Authority director Charles Parker said an appeal of the higher appraisal would probably occur, but would not delay land clearance or city hall construction. The Maryland Provincial Assembly created Georgetown in 1751 by buying 60 acres on the Potomac for a settlement named after King George II.
