Gray Rock

Gray Rock features stone construction, balanced window arrangements, and ornate moldings that define the symmetrical proportions of Georgian design principles.

The structure emerged during the expansion period of Ellicott City in the 1700s, when the Ellicott family established mills along the Patapsco River.

The building represents early American interpretations of British architectural traditions, incorporating local materials while maintaining Georgian design standards.

Visitors can access Gray Rock through guided walking tours of Historic Ellicott City, which operate throughout the year from Main Street.

The building maintains its original stone facade and window configurations, demonstrating construction techniques from the Georgian period in Maryland.
