Font Hill Manor, Georgian architectural estate in Ellicott City, United States.

Font Hill Manor features local granite construction with three sections, including a four-by-two bay structure and two additional wings added through different periods.

The manor, built by Admiral Hammond in the 1700s on land previously owned by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, served as a slave plantation in Howard County.

The property represents the architectural preferences of early Maryland elite families, displaying the formal design principles of Georgian residential construction.

The manor grounds now occupy 3.32 acres of land, surrounded by 36 modern homes, making it accessible through the residential neighborhood of Ellicott City.

Between 1926 and 1950, the estate underwent restoration under Isaac Cate's ownership and temporarily carried the name Abbottston.
