Milton, building in Maryland, United States
Milton is a historic house in Bethesda, Maryland, built in brick using the Georgian style. Originally constructed with one and a half stories, it was later expanded with a second story and a three-bay section that blends seamlessly with the original structure.
The house was built in 1847 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. In the 1930s it became home to Mordecai J. Ezekiel, an economist focused on farming and agriculture, who owned it through the 1970s.
The house is also known as the Loughborough House, named after Nathan Loughborough, who served as Comptroller of the Treasury under President John Adams. This connection to early American government reflects the social position of the family who lived here and shaped how the community developed.
The house is visible from the street and can be observed from public areas, making it easy to appreciate the Georgian architecture from outside. Since it is protected as a historic site, visitors should approach with respect and keep to appropriate viewing areas.
The property includes several outbuildings made of stone, such as a square smokehouse with a distinctive hipped roof and a stone ice house from the 19th century. These structures reveal how families stored and preserved food long before modern refrigeration existed.
