Glasgow, Federal style historic house in Cambridge, Maryland.
Glasgow is a brick house in Cambridge, Maryland, built in the Federal style with two and a half stories and a wooden wing added in the early 1900s. The original structure maintains its classical architectural details and proportions from its construction period.
The house was built in 1792 as one of the Federal-style residences that emerged during the early years of the United States. It earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 for its role in the region's architectural heritage.
The house reflects how people in late 18th-century Maryland chose to build their homes, with a balanced front and classical details that were fashionable among property owners of that time.
The property sits in a residential area of Cambridge where you can see it from the street, though it is not open for interior visits. Visitors can examine the exterior architecture, roof line, and front facade to appreciate the Federal style features from outside the property.
An early owner was William Murray Robertson, cousin of the diplomat William Vans Murray who served the young United States government. This family connection to a figure involved in early American diplomacy adds an overlooked layer to the house's history.
