VIEWFINDER: Kahl Farmhouse and Fields

Share your latest picturesque photo of Perry Hall.

Posted by Emily Kimball (Editor), May 20, 2011 at 05:46 pm

The farmhouse of Selma and Leo Kahl, between Perry Hall Road and Schroeder Avenue, hearkens back to Perry Hall's agricultural roots.

The home appears isolated as it dwarfs in comparison to the dramatic cloudscape. Although, in reality, new and old housing developments surround the farm on all sides.

Have you taken any great photos lately in Perry Hall? Add them to the media gallery.

Beautiful photograph! I actually had the opportunity to meet Mr. Leo Kahl in the Assisted Living Home days before he passed away. A nice man, may he rest in peace.

When did he pass away? I pass by their home often, but I hadn't spoken to them in a couple years.

I grew up right next door, Leo was my uncle, and his brother owns the farm next to his. I was so lucky to grow up surrounded by beautiful farmland!

Leo passed away on May 24, 2010. I can't believe it's been almost a year. I grew up in the neighborhood near their farm and always thought the farm looked so amazing sitting up on the hill. It gave a real feeling of living in the country.

We have had the pleasure or being their neighbors for the past 8 years. A genuine family. Leo is certainly missed but looking down on the farm and his bride from heaven. I have a few aerials shots of their farm and the Klausmeier's I can email you. And an awesome lightning strike from two summers ago.

Joyleen Farm , as named for Leo & Selma's daughters Joyce and Eileen, has been an operational farm in the Kahl family for over 100 years. The family looks forward to celebrating the 100th year anniversary of the farm in 2014 (which is the year the farm house was built for the young farmer, John Kahl and his bride Theresia Noppenberger). The oldest pictures that I have of the farm date back to the early 30's.

The farm will not be sold in the near future. The name of the first Kahl to own the farm was John Edward Kahl, better known as Ed Kahl. This is for folks that knew him as Ed, and not John. Thanks to many wonderful neighbors, it will continue to survive, as a working farm.

Then again, I watched my kid like a hawk - and you know, actually played WITH him - while we were there. As a result, my kid never came close to being injured by another unruly kid. Just saying.

My sister-in-law actually played with my nephew too Tim. Unlike EVERY OTHER single parent that was…Read More there. However, you can't tie your child to you. They came there to play. Bullies move very quick. When my nephew fell and was visibily scared, not a single parent except for one even noticed. Nobody from the library was in site. You are right that if parents were required to pay attention to their children then there would not be an opportunities for bullies because the parents of those bullies would be watching them also. When the group came from a religious school in Pikesville this is exactly what happened. All the parents stayed with their kids. All other parents, with little exception stayed in a waiting room talking amongst themselves paying little attention to their children. My nephew has been to all kinds of playgrounds and never been attacked by older kids before. Next time, if my nephew is attacked by an older child I will urge my brother to call the police and press charges against the parent. However, irreponsible Storyville need not worry -- won't be back there. Just wish our tax dollars weren't supporting this.

Let me put this in more practical terms. 1. My sister-in-law suggests that the bully seemed about 8…Read More years old and probably shouldn't have been left at Storyville to begin with. There is no ID system at Storyville for childs age. 2. The bully caused various kinds of mayhem. Knocking down things, shouting, etc. No one from the library is actually in Storyville so there was no disciplinary action taken such as removing the child. 3. Parents should not view Storyville as a babysitter and not be allowed to congregate in the waiting area, leaving their children to play alone. 4. Items that could be used to cause serious injury should be removed from Storyville. 5. Cameras. If an 8 year old hits a 3 year old at Storyville where parents are suppose to be watching their children, I want proof for a court case. Yes, it's a shame it can't just be a pleasant place to take your kids but it isn't. It is filled with unrully children and uninterested parents. A child SHOULD NEVER leave a library with two bruises across his face EVER.
