The Maryland Historical Society has, among its thousands of photographs and writings, a couple of photos from what they say is Savage Mill.
The date is approximated to be between 1918 and 1919 and features several men digging away at "sewer work."
Does anyone you know recognize the street where this photograph was taken?
Tell us in the comments.

I don’t live there anymore, Brian. I live in CT. Lived in Savage for 23 years....and have seen that photo many times. Did you know that the “original” water pipes were made of elm wood? The county found them when they put in the modern pipes.

Wow, no I did not know that! Well, I will try to find where this is on Baltimore Street and take a photo. Thanks, Ellen!

I think it might be near the current Post Office. No more picket fences, and they widened the street back in the 1980’s which wiped out a lot of landmarks, and trees.
