Handsell, Historic brick plantation house in Vienna, Maryland.
The brick Georgian structure features a protruding pavilion and Flemish bond brickwork on its main facade near the Nanticoke River.
Thomas Taylor received a 700-acre land grant in 1665 to establish a trading post along the Nanticoke River at the Chicone Native American village.
The property includes an authentic replica of a pre-1600 Eastern Woodland Native American homestead with traditional materials and construction methods.
Visitors can access a self-guided audio tour by calling 410-858-4173 and explore six interpretive exhibits about the house's history during daylight hours.
After a significant fire destroyed the second story, John Shehee rebuilt the structure in 1837, incorporating the remaining original brick walls.
