 BATTLE CREEK CYPRESS SWAMP, Prince Frederick, Sixes and Grays Roads. |
One of four separate locations in Maryland where natural stands of cypress exist. In 1943, cypress was formerly classified as a desirable tree to be protected and fostered. Although a second growth, the stand of Bald Cypress is the northern-most stand in the United States. |
 MILLENIA, Lower Marlboro. |
Typical of late 19th century architecture. A first floor mantel comes from Maidstone. |
 MILLS HOUSE, Lower Marlboro. |
Has a Victorian appearance which disguises its true age. The original section contains 18th century construction and features and therefore makes the house one of the oldest extant dwellings in Lower Marlboro. |
 LOWRY'S RESERVE, Huntingtown. |
This house, whose earliest section was probably built in the late 18th century, contains elements of four architectural periods; 18th century vernacular, Federal, Greek revival and Victorian. |
 CHERRY HILL, Dunkirk. |
A large hipped roof house, it is reported to have been built by Thomas Chaney (1751-181?). The interior of the house clearly shows a dividing line between front and back - the back being the older portion. |
 ROBINSON'S REST, Huntingtown. |
Although this house has been greatly altered, the oldest 1 1/2 story section could date to the 18th century. |
 THE RESERVE, Prince Frederick. |
Although the present house dates from 1815, this land has been in possession of the Skinner family since 1649. There are several structures on the property which may predate the house which was burned by the British in 1814. |
 THE HIGHLANDS, Dunkirk. |
This house appears to be of the Federal period but structural evidence and a 1745 deed suggest that it evolved from an earlier structure built by the Fielder Bowie Smith family. |
