Colonial East Main Street Westminster is reflected in the window of the front door at the new coffee shop, Birdie’s Café, which just opened at 233 East Main Street.

To the delight of many a Main Street Westminster caffeine addict, Sherri Hosfeld Joseph opened a coffee shop - Birdie’s Café http://www.birdiescoffee.com/ on July 13, 2010.

Joseph, a professional artist, designer, and photographer, was able to utilize much of the fixtures and equipment left behind almost two-years ago, however, she has worked since last January meticulously cleaning, painting, and planning and researching every detail for the shop with co-workers Danes Menges and Emily White

… local artists Susan Williamson and Becki Maurio seated at the table…

Customers Alex Stamm and Jenna Winegar, North Carroll High School graduates from Hampstead, were more than happy to take a break from their computer and answer a few questions.

Sherri Hosfeld Joseph sat with a sigh and a big smile.

“Hi. How are ya? How’s the coffee?”

To the delight of many a Westminster caffeine addict, Hosfeld recently opened a coffee shop — Birdie’s Café — in an historic brick building at 233 E. Main St.

After a run of about seven years, the former coffee shop there, The Pour House, abruptly ceased operations in November 2008.

Its absence was the source of caffeine-deprived headaches and a blow to Westminster’s downtown district, which includes the newly renovated Cockey’s addition to the Historical Society of Carroll County and the Carroll Arts Center on the western end of town...

DAYHOFF: Clock docs make house call to fix historic Westminster clock tower on Main Street Eagle Archives Posted 8/08/10 by Carroll Eagle, Westminster Eagle

(Enlarge) Wayne Reifsnider, assistant superintendent for the City of Westminster Street Department, works to replace the hands of the 1896 Westminster town clock in the early morning hours of Aug. 3. Reifsnider was assisting a crew from Precision Repair, a timepiece restoration company, which performed a bit of delicate surgery four stories above Westminster's Main Street as part of an overall restoration project for the historic clock. (Photo by Kevin E. Dayhoff)


In the early morning hours of Aug. 3, the old clock atop the old Westminster fire hall -- which served Westminster from 1896 to 1998 at 66 E. Main St. -- got a brand new shiny pair of hands. The venerable timepiece has been a fixture in town since it was dedicated at 3:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, 1896.


City of Westminster workers used a crane from Thomas Bennett and Hunter, a local road-building firm; and Dave Booth of Precision Repair, a timepiece restoration firm, to accomplish the delicate surgery performed four stories in the air.

Clock doctor Booth was assisted by Wayne Reifsnider, assistant city Street Department superintendent. Meanwhile, Superintendent Larry Bloom, along with Jeff Glass, the city public works director; and city workers Shawn Lockard and Alan Miller, served as ground support.

Keeping the old timepiece working has been challenging for the city workers in the last number of years.

Miller said it was good to get it worked on, as he looked briefly up at the old clock. Lockard added, “I’m glad that we’re finally getting it fixed.”
