Sadly, the house on 11 E. Main St. in Middletown, MD that was Gen. Mead’s HQ following Lee’s retreat from Gettysburg was recently “renovated” and put up for sale, clearly without any consideration for its historical significance. OK, it’s the owner's house, so he can do whatever he wants with it, but it would have been nice to maintain its historical integrity. Somehow, I'm not seeing all that vinyl siding and the removal of the front porch as "improvements." Interestingly, the real estate listing shows a view of the back porch as its primary shot, and for the "street" view, shows the picture of how it used to look. And they recently dropped the price by $11,000.
Here's how it looked before:
Here's how it looks now:
