Glass Factory (not)

Frederick
The sign outside of this pretty old industrial building says "Glass Factory". I toured the property and admired the architecture--probably from the 1930s or so. It has been put to good use as an office complex today, but it never was a glass factory according to a fellow who worked there recently--rather a canning factory. It sits across the street from the historic St Johns Cemetery on 4th Street. Buried there is Roger Brooke Taney, the Fifth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. His ruling in the Dred Scott decision was the cause of much dissension amongst northern abolitionists and was one of those stepping stones that led to the War Between the States, which we remember these days as part of the 150th anniversary.
