Brick House on the Pike
Brick House on the Pike, Federal style house in Howard County, Maryland
Description
Brick House on the Pike is a two-story house built from brick with a side-passage plan, situated on 3 acres in Howard County. The property includes several historic outbuildings such as a stone stable and carriage house alongside the main residence.
History
Construction took place in two phases, with the first section built in the late 1700s and the second added around 1817. Significant upgrades arrived in 1907, when electricity and central heating were installed.
Culture
The house reflects how prominent Maryland families built and maintained country estates across generations. The room layout and craftsmanship show how wealthy rural households organized their daily lives.
Practical
The grounds are walkable, with paths connecting the various buildings across the property. Being located in a quiet rural setting with country roads makes it easy to explore at a leisurely pace.
Did you know?
The property preserves the original foundation of an ice house, a structure once used to store ice for refrigeration. Three board-and-batten outbuildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s provide glimpses into everyday life of that era.
