Homewood House

	Map		Reviews

Homewood, a classically inspired five-part house, was built beginning in 1801 on a 130-acre farm located two miles from the city center of Baltimore.

The house and property was a wedding present from Charles Carroll of Carrollton (1737-1832), one of four Maryland signers of the Declaration of Independence, to his only son Charles Carroll, Jr. (1775-1825) and his daughter-in-law, Harriet Chew Carroll (1775-1861) in 1800. Charles Carroll of Carrollton was also the only Catholic signer and the last surviving signer. The three other Maryland signers were: Samuel Chase (1741-1811), William Paca (1740-99), and Thomas Stone (1743-87). In 1973, an endowment was established to help restore Homewood as an historic house museum. After several years of research, archaeological investigation, and restoration by The Johns Hopkins University, this remarkable example of early American architecture opened to the public in 1987.
