Historical Society research identifies physician George Colgate and merchant Nathan Gorsuch as former occupants; Gorsuch died in 1902. Reported lore and claims include: EastGhost attributes haunting claims to unspecified former occupants.

Kimmey House is the campus — the 'three buildings' that's the society's row, the '1800' that's the oldest's year. The 'society saved' is the born — the '1939' that's the founding's year, the 'demolition' that's the threat's form. The 'shutters copied' is the kept — the 'fragile original' that's the pattern's state, the 'grant matched' that's the fix's fund.
The 'tavern next' is the paired — the 'Cockey's' that's the '20's name, the 'library' that's the use's now. The 'garden walks' is the grown — the 'Shipley' that's the memorial's name, the 'kitchen pleasure' that's the beds' split. Kimmey House is the held — the 'Main Street' that's the row's face, the 'nonprofit's load' that's the upkeep's truth.
The file keeps Kimmey House: the campus three, the saved '39, the copied shutters, and the held Main.
Kimmey House is the archive's Maryland file — the house a society was founded to save.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Kimmey House is the archive's Maryland file — the oldest brick on the historical society's row.
A house keeps its row — the file's suggestion being that Kimmey's hold is the grouped: the 'three buildings' that's the campus's count, the '1939' that's the society's start, and the 'shutters copied' that's the care's detail.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Unverified] unspecified haunting: EastGhost attributes haunting claims to unspecified former occupants. Kimmey House wears the claim the way old houses do: visibly, and without comment. Unverified — the file records the allegation and the absence of proof in the same line. The report is preserved in sources like 'EastGhost ParaGuide: 50 Hot Haunts in Maryland'. The haunting is unproven and unfired: it keeps showing up for work anyway.
