Teackle Mansion, Neoclassical mansion in Princess Anne, Maryland.
Teackle Mansion is a Neoclassical house in Princess Anne, Maryland, recognized for its symmetrical facades, tall columns, and balanced proportions. The interior rooms are still furnished with period pieces from the early 19th century.
The house was built between 1802 and 1819 by merchant Littleton Dennis Teackle, during a period of economic growth in Princess Anne. The scale and style of the building reflect the wealth that trade brought to this part of Maryland at the time.
The Somerset County Historical Society uses the house as a museum, displaying local documents and objects from the region. Walking through the rooms gives a concrete sense of how people in this part of Maryland once lived and worked.
The property sits on a large plot of land and is easiest to reach by car, as Princess Anne is a small town. Guided tours are the standard way to see the interior, so it is worth checking opening days and times in advance.
The main structure is divided into three separate sections, each built at a different time, which gives the house an unusual layout that is easy to notice as you walk through it. This kind of staged construction was rare for a private home of that era.
