Brick House Farm, Historic house in Greensboro, Maryland
Brick House Farm is a two-story brick house in Greensboro with Federal-style details and a gable roof rising over the main structure. Behind it, the property includes remnants of farm buildings such as a barn and chicken coop spread across more than 8 acres of land.
The house was built around 1823 during the early Federal period when this style was common across the young nation. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, giving it official recognition as a historic building.
The house displays craftsmanship from the Federal period, with detailed trim around doors and windows showing the work of local builders. These features help visitors understand how domestic life and construction methods operated in rural Maryland at that time.
The site is open to visitors interested in viewing the historic buildings and the surrounding landscape. It is best to visit during pleasant weather since the grounds are mostly open with limited shelter from the elements.
The house has a remarkably large attic where people can stand upright throughout the entire space, which was unusual for buildings of that era. This generous upper level showed the quality and care put into the original construction.
