: As a child, I remember a large house at the
: intersection of Allentown Road and Old
: Branch Ave in Camp Springs. It was across
: the street (Allentown Rd) from Pyles Lumber.

: It's currently a vacant lot enclosed by a
: low chain link. The garage/carriage house
: (?)is less than 20 feet from the merging
: lane of Rt 5 south and can be seen from the
: road.

: I remember older siblings reading the
: sign/marker whenever we drove past it (a
: Rodman's Drug Store was in the vicinity) and
: the sign indicated it was the first house to
: have electricity or something like that.
