Doughoregan Manor, Private colonial estate in Ellicott City, Maryland.

The three-hundred-foot brick residence features Doric porticoes, an octagonal cupola, and connects to a chapel through transitional spaces on its northern end.

Charles Carroll, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, lived at Doughoregan Manor from 1766 to 1832 and received visits from George Washington.

The private chapel attached to the manor served the local Catholic community until 1855, offering Sunday morning Mass during a period of religious restrictions.

The 938-acre property maintains no-trespassing signs at each entrance, though views of the farmland and woodland remain visible from surrounding roads.

The estate includes a Gothic Revival gatehouse from 1860 and maintains its position as one of the longest-running family-owned properties in Maryland.
