Nallin Farm House

Nallin Farm House is a historic house with Federal architecture built from fieldstone, located within the Fort Detrick military grounds. The property also includes a stone springhouse and a traditional bank barn with a ramp entrance.

The house was built between 1780 and 1830 as an example of early American architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The house served as a working farm originally and was later converted to officer housing. This transformation shows how land use in the region shifted over time.

The house sits on Fort Detrick property and is viewable from outside only, as it remains within military boundaries. Visitors should respect the access restrictions and security rules that apply to the base.

The property features a stone springhouse that feeds Nallin Pond, a body of water created by the natural spring system. This springhouse and pond represent how the original residents managed water resources.
