The Fulks family have been part of Gaithersburg's history since the 1760s. Thomas Fulks was a prominent businessman, farmer and Gaithersburg politician. His house, located at 208 South Frederick Avenue, is a well-preserved example of late 19th century architecture and has undergone very little exterior alteration since the turn of the century. The photograph on the left was taken in 1897.

| Chris DiMattei | 11/24/10 | This house is a classic example of design #24 from the pattern book entitled "Cottage Souvenir #2, Revised and Enlarged", published in 1892 by architect George F. Barber. I have found 5 other examples of this design elsewhere in the USA. Please contact me at crdimattei@gmail.com for more info. |
