    The exact date that this photograph was taken was on June 13, 1916 when the iron fence surrounding the northeast #1 boundary stone was dedicated by the Mary Washington Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The barn in the background sits on the estate "Silver Spring," residence at the time of the dedication of Maryland Senator Blair Lee. The stone disappeared around September 1952. A bronze plaque marking the stone's location was dedicated on January 12, 1961 and set into the sidewalk in front of the business at 7847 Eastern Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland. Additional photographs of this particular boundary stone appear in "Historic Silver Spring" by Jerry A. McCoy (Arcadia Publishing, 2005).

    Northeast Boundary Stone 1 – Then and Now (90 years later)

    As sshistory wrote, above, this is (likely) not the "North boundry [sic] stone" as originally captioned, rather it likely was "Northeast Boundary Stone 1". (A 2005 photo of the actual "North Boundary Stone" is included below.)

    As the original stone was accidentally bulldozed and removed during the construction of the storefront in September 1952, this photograph of the original Northeast boundary stone is historic.
