Port Deposit, Maryland
This building was constructed for use as a gymnasium by the Jacob Tome Institute in 1905. A gift to the town from Wiley Manufacturing Company, it included the first indoor swimming pool in Cecil County, a basketball court, locker rooms and showers. This stone building has typical Georgian Revival details including the dentiled and modillioned cornice, keystone lintels, and a Palladian window arrangement on the center gable. After interior renovations, completed in 1983, it serves as the municipal offices, library and public meeting room of the town.
