Hilton, Historic house in Catonsville, Maryland
The five-bay Georgian Revival mansion stands two and a half stories tall with a high ground floor and features a distinctive gambrel roof covered in Vermont slate.
Originally constructed as a stone farmhouse in 1825, the property was redesigned by architect Edward L. Palmer Jr. in 1917 as part of the extensive 'Taylor's Forest' estate.
The estate served as a gathering place for notable figures, including Robert E. Lee, and later became part of the Community College of Baltimore County campus.
The mansion currently functions as the Center for Global Education, offering educational programs and maintaining several historical outbuildings on the grounds.
The property contains preserved structures from the slavery era, including two Tudor-style stone houses from 1852 and remnants of a stone bowling alley.
