Trumpington

Trumpington is a Georgian residence in Rock Hall featuring a symmetrical five-bay brick facade built with Flemish bond construction. The two and a half story main building connects to a one-and-a-half story brick wing that expands the interior layout.

The property dates to the Georgian period and reflects the building traditions of colonial-era wealthy families. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 recognized its importance as a surviving example of the architectural style from that time.

The residence displays typical features of early American homes that reflect how prosperous households organized their living spaces: paneled doors and decorative moldings appear throughout the rooms. These details show what mattered to the people who lived here and how they valued craftsmanship.

The property sits in Rock Hall and includes several outbuildings beyond the main house such as a meat storage structure, granary, and cemetery. Together these buildings give a complete picture of how a historical estate operated and was organized.

The property combines its brick construction with a deliberate spatial design: the main house extends about two rooms deep, while the side wing is even more compact. This layout reveals how owners of the era planned separate zones within their homes for different family and household functions.
