Elk Landing, Colonial residence in Elkton, Maryland.
The two-story fieldstone house features three bays, a gable roof, and measures two bays deep with original corner fireplaces and moldings.
Swedish trader John Hansson Steelman established a trading post at this location in 1693, exchanging goods with Indigenous peoples until 1739.
Archaeological excavations north of the stone house revealed remains of Steelman's original structure, documenting early Swedish settlement patterns in Maryland.
The property spans 0.8 acres at Landing Lane, with the main house containing a full basement and multiple rooms with preserved interior features.
Lutheran priests Andreas Rudman and Erik Bjork arrived at this site in 1697 to extend the Church of Sweden's influence in the former New Sweden colony.
