The Edward N. Dodson House (103 Cherry Street)

Steamboat Captain Edward Napoleon Dodson built this T-shaped frame house with a two-story porch infill about 1880. Dodson commanded the steamboat Olive, owned by his nephew Richard Stearns Dodson, which connected Saint Michaels to Baltimore from 1876 to 1891. The steamboat was sold and Dodson retired around the time that the railroad reached Saint Michaels, which soon reoriented local commerce up the Delmarva Peninsula toward Philadelphia and away from the waterborne connection to Baltimore.
