Boyle House - 29 North Main Street

The main house at 29 North was built by Dr. E. S. Boyle in c. 1900.  Five years later, he bought the unimproved lot in the back for $110 (that's about $4,000 in today's money).

Dr. Boyle was a director of Tome Institute, a director of Citizen's National Bank, a dentist and a former mayor of Port Deposit.  After spending about 40 years in this house and having 2 children, Dr. Boyle died April 8, 1944 from a heart condition at the age of 78.

The gravel parking lot was once a garden with magnificent central fountain as recently as the late 90s.

The back cottage was home to a quaint little neighborhood pub and convenience store  about 15 years ago (The Bee's Nest).
