Woodlawn

The two-story Woodlawn house features stuccoed stone construction from 1840 and wood frame sections dating back to 1785, situated on five acres of land.

Henry Howard Owings, a judge of the Orphan's Court for Howard County, purchased this former tobacco plantation in 1858 and remained there until his death in 1869.

The property includes preserved stone slave quarters that predate the main house, providing evidence of Maryland's agricultural and social history during the nineteenth century.

The Columbia Association maintains the property while the surrounding area has transformed into dense office developments with modern infrastructure and parking facilities.

The structure represents the transition between Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles, marking a significant period in American residential design during the nineteenth century.
