400-406 Market Street, c. 1920
The land on which this house sits was owned by Robert Rice Vandiver (1805-1885) who had come to Havre de Grace in 1838 and served several times as a town Commissioner. He and his wife, Mary, were the parents of Murray Vandiver (1845-1916), who became Treasurer for the State of Maryland. When Murray died his heirs inherited this and other properties and they sold this parcel of land to William E. Thompson in 1919. Deeds, unfortunately, at that time did not make it clear as to whether a building existed on the land—a standard clause in deeds that often read, "with improvements," or "with appurtenances," appeared in most deeds but consultations with attorneys reveal that such clauses did not mean there was a building on the land. It is likely that this home was built by William E. Thompson between 1919 and 1921 when he sold this property to Charles and Mary E. Lawson. William E. Thompson, along with Barry L. and Mary H. Thompson, incorporated the Thompson Motor Company in Havre de Grace in 1922 according to the Manufacturers Record , of October 5, 1922. He also was an early owner of the property at 414 Market Street.
