PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS

BARN
The distinctive barn was constructed in 1912. Beginning in 1967 and spanning more than two decades, it was carefully restored to reflect the style of the Victorian era during which it was originally constructed. The barn is a combination of alternating red and green doors and trim on bright white. Additional outbuildings include an original corn crib, oil shed, sheep shed, workshop, dairy and smokehouse.

RESIDENCE
The main house has great historical significance not only for the original owner’s grandson who lived there and served two terms as the Governor of Maryland but also for its place in the development of Maryland’s domestic architecture, as noted on two markers from the Maryland Bicentennial Commission and the Maryland Historical Society.
