Sorry for the morbid subject matter in this week's photo, which is of exactly what it looks like—a fleet of hearses.
What makes this photo interesting, though, is that the hearses in the photo, which was taken in 1920, were owned by a funeral home that still operates in the Parkville-Overlea area today.
According to an entry in the Baltimore County Public Library catalog, where this image is hosted, the hearses are part of a 1916-1918 Pierce-Arrow fleet.
Can you guess which funeral home owned the hearses pictured here? I'll give you one hint: the photo was taken on Belair Road.
Have an interesting bit of Parkville-Overlea history to share? Contact editor Nick Gestido (nick.gestido@patch.com) or tell us in the comments.
