105 KB | Pwenner | Dr. William Schnauffer posed with his excellent nursing staff outside Schnauffer Hospital, located at the corner of W. B. and N. Virginia Avenue, in the 1940s. The following nurses have been identified: Ethel Wenner and Beckie Blessing, first and second from left. Louise Kimes and Geraldine "June" Jones to the right of Dr. Schnauffer. Maybe Ethel Wenner on the far left. After rising costs and other considerations led to the closure of the hospital in 1946, Dr. Schnauffer worked as a general... | 1 |

4.22 MB | Pwenner | This photo might be from the 1940s, considering the steam locomotives visible in the distance on the right. You can also see the coal tipple on the left. Wayne Allgaier This picture looks like it might have been taken with the photographer standing at the east end of the mill, facing east (with the mill behind him). If that is the case, the spur on the left side of the picture would be the spur running to the mill. (From the Myer Kaplon Photo Collection at the Brunswick Community Library; F... | 1 |

22 KB | Pwenner | Another "city view" of the bridge and part of what downtown looked like in the early stages of Potomac River Bridge construction. This was the early 1950s. The leveled lot you see was home to the Swank Building next to the old People's Bank. George Swank operated a hardware business here for years that was later sold to Irv Kolker and Nat Winters of People's Home & Auto in the mid-'40s. Harrington's shoe repair shop operated next door before moving up the street. Catty-cornered at the top o... | 1 |

31 KB | Pwenner | Building a bridge. Workers constructing the Potomac River bridge in the early 1950s lay out the on-ramp on the N. Virginia Avenue side of the hill. The bridge right-of-way divided the hill from Virginia to Maryland Avenues, which you could once walk over.

| 20:34, 19 January 2025 | Imperial Theater 1920s side view.jpeg (file) |  |
37 KB | Pwenner | Here’s a photo of the old Imperial Theater on W. Potomac Street, taken from a different angle than we have seen before, likely in the 1920s. Some mystery. There appears to have been stairs or maybe a red carpet on the right side of the theater. There once was a basement with a bowling alley and pool room until around 1931. The bowling alley was located in the rear of the basement, but the stairs may have led to a hallway or tunnel. If you look closely, you will notice a sign featuring the n... | 1 |
| 20:22, 19 January 2025 | Imperial Theater, West Potomac St in ruins 1967.jpg (file) |  |
99 KB | Pwenner | This sad 1967 photo shows the much-beloved Imperial Theater on W. Potomac Street, which had been deteriorating for years following its closure in 1962. A theater at this location dated back to a 1912 lease at the Frederick County Courthouse. The old kiosk now resides at the Brunswick Heritage Museum. According to "Brunswick: 100 Years of Memories": After the theater closed, Grayson Holler took over the building hoping to turn it into a nightclub for teens. However during renovations, the bu... | 1 |

562 KB | Pwenner | This photo is interesting and mystery on a couple of levels: 1) A group of 5 teen age boys watching a panel of 5 professionally dressed adults on a stage high above them. Hard to tell what the event was. 2) We've seen similar photos of this latticed stage at both the old Imperial Theater and a makeshift stage in a community space at the bottom of W. B Street before the 1955 Potomac River Bridge was constructed. This appears to have been the latter. See the heavy upright piano on the right.... | 1 |

3.62 MB | Pwenner | We've posted a similar photo of these prominent Brunswick businessmen and civic leaders of the time. We believe that this photo was taken in the early 1960s. If that is the Scheer Stadium scoreboard in the distance on the left, the men may have been surveying the future site of Brunswick High School. From the left are Claude Lutman (People's Bank President), Harry George Jr. (S.W. George Co.) Rev.

2.58 MB | Pwenner | This is nice photo of a ladies gathering back in the day where some were having a laugh. Miss Georgia Hood is on the left. Elizabeth Fry is elsewhere according to library records. Maybe 3rd from left? Fran New is laughing on the far right. Can anyone guess the occasion and identify the ladies and in what order?

218 KB | Pwenner | In this iconic photo in the age of steam, a young boy looks out over a line of hopper cars, which carried coal and coke. The cars in the distance are refrigerator cars, commonly called "reefers". See the coal tipple, a locomotive and the B&O Shops in the background. The boy's location is somewhere on what's now E. Potomac Street close to the old Moose Club. It may date to the early 1900s. (Photo courtesy of the City of Brunswick Maryland History Commission) Category:Smoketown Kids | 1 |

For years in the 1950s and '60s, the Charles Harrington family decorated a huge pine tree in their yard at 605 N. Maple Avenue where neighborhood children performed “The Christmas Story,” recited the “Night Before Christmas,” and sang carols. Afterwards, Santa greeted the kids with “Christmas Boxes”, which included a bag of hard candy and an orange. Nathan Sean Stone Pretty cool seeing the ho... | 1 |

Was anyone here or have friends or family who were members of the Merry Ladies Chapter of the Izaak Walton League? This ad ran in December 1964. Sherry Stull I used to attend every Damion and the Classics dance that I could possibly go to. The Brunswick Fire Hall was the best dance venue.
