This remarkable home is a contributing building in the Sharpsburg Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Built circa 1860, the vernacular log house stands two stories with a four-bay facade, asbestos shingles over German siding and log, a side-gable roof, twin front doors with three-light transoms, and a porch with turned posts and scroll-cut brackets. Outbuildings include a frame garage and a rare exposed-log outbuilding with a brick chimney. It sits on original town Lot 34, first sold in 1772; a house here was documented in an 1881 will, and local recollection credits John Hill with building and owning it during the Civil War. Its story belongs to Sharpsburg’s 1763–1958 historic period—including the Battle of Antietam in September 1862. Welcome to 112 S. Mechanic Street, where historic character meets modern comfort. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home blends rustic beauty with thoughtful updates in picturesque Sharpsburg, Maryland. Distinctive log-and-chinking craftsmanship gives the home its warm, inviting feel and celebrates its connection to the past.
