Nick Fry, Ghosts of the Old Main Line: Documenting Historic Rural Structures.  The Baltimore and Ohio "Old Main Line" runs from Baltimore, Maryland to Point of Rocks, Maryland. For over a century it was an essential part of many small agricultural communities in Central Maryland. Now, with the passage of time, and the decreasing use of the "Old Main Line", it is essential to document the structures that were built on it for agricultural and commercial use before they are lost to development. My project will involve making a digital photographic record of these structures according to the Historic American Building Survey photographic standards, and they will be made available to the public via the internet.
