Prospect Hall, Federal architecture mansion in Frederick, Maryland

General George G. Meade established his headquarters at Prospect Hall before the Battle of Gettysburg, making critical decisions for the Union Army in 1863.
The property demonstrates the evolution of architectural preferences in early American design, reflecting the transition from colonial to Federal style construction methods.
