Barracks Removed for New Homes in Frederick
The 1887 Salvation Army barracks at West Fourth and Bontz Streets, built for about $2,500, was purchased by Calvin L. Engle and demolished to make way for new houses. The site, tied to Frederick’s early history, once hosted the first Presbyterian church and its graveyard. Barracks were built in 1887 by William Wenn of Baltimore after the Army arrived in 1885, with Captain Colburn as early local officer. The Army dwindled over years and has now disappeared.
