This
simple border is from the Buck-Bacchus Store, the oldest commercial
building in Chestertown, Maryland. The building was
constructed in 1735 by John Buck, a wealthy Devonshire, England
merchant who expanded his business holdings in the colonies.
The building was purchased by William Bacchus in 1854, who used it as
both a store and a residence.
