Round About Hills, Colonial plantation house in Glenwood, Maryland
The plantation residence features a frame house with a stone end, gambrel roof, and a one-story hip-roofed porch spanning three bays wide.

The property includes preserved stone slave quarters and outbuildings that document the social structure of colonial Maryland plantations during the 18th century.
