Old Epsom Mansion Destroyed by Fire-…
The old mansion on the Chew estate, known as "Epsom," about a mile northeast of Towson, was destroyed by fire yesterday. The property belongs to Mrs. Harriet Chew, widow of Capt. Charles R. Chew. Mrs. Hammond, widow of Charles L. Hammond, lived in the dwelling. Mr. Hammond had farmed the place and since his death the farming operations have been carried on by Mrs. Hammond and her sons. The fire began on the roof of a back building of the house. The Towson fire engine went to the scene and persons who gathered there aided the firemen in removing part of the furniture. A number of relics and papers belonging to the Chew family, which were stored in the building, were destroyed. The building and furniture were insured in the Bowen & Merryman agency at Towson, the building for $5,000 and the furniture for $500. The origin of the fire is unknown. The mansion was a colonial structure of stone, with large wooden columns in front. It was built about a hundred years ago by Gen. John Ridgely. Henry B. Chew, father of Capt. Charles R. Chew, married a daughter of General Ridgely, and the property thus came into the possession of the Chew family."….
