Quick Trip to Ellicott City #1- Envy Salon (History and Haunting)

On July 5, we decided to finally take a short ride about 30 minutes north and briefly walk the streets of Historic Ellicott City (which is still being renovated after massive, destructive flooding a couple of years ago). One of the historic buildings we looked at now houses the Envy Salon.
  It's known as the "Day-French-Puhl" house, named for the man who built it and the families that lived in it. In today's blog you'll learn its history and see a video about its haunting (which I am included in)!

IT WAS THE "DAY-FRENCH-PUHL HOUSE" - This brick house was built in 1842. It is located at 3723 Old Columbia Pike, Ellicott City MD 21043. The sign on it reads: Day, a master stone mason, purchased this lot from the Ellicotts (2 brothers who founded Ellicott City) and built this federal style home, one of the oldest brick structures in the district. Rear and side additions were prior to 1887. Later home to the French’s for many years, then beginning in 1957 the Puhl’s, who restored it. In 1999 new owners carefully adapted it as Envy Salon.
