Compton Bassett, Georgian mansion in Upper Marlboro, US.
The two-story brick residence features cream-colored stucco exterior walls, resting upon a high gray stucco basement with multiple architectural details throughout the structure.
The Hill family constructed Compton Bassett in 1783 after the original house burned down, maintaining ownership of the property from 1699 until 1900.
The property includes a private Catholic chapel, meat house, dairy building, and family burial ground, reflecting the lifestyle of wealthy tobacco planters in colonial Maryland.
The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission manages the 80-acre property at 16508 Marlboro Pike, following significant structural renovations in 2018.
Architect James Hoban, who designed the White House, directed improvements to the mansion in 1822 under William Hill's ownership.
