Description

Live authentically. Open House Saturday, March 18th 11am-2pm. The Ross House was built beside the Potomac River in Bladensburg, Maryland in 1749 by Dr. David Ross, a surgeon in the Continental Army. During the War of 1812, it was used as a hospital for British and American soldiers. The home was torn down in 1957, but 22, 000 bricks, windows, flooring, paneling , doors, and handmade nails were preserved for five years. In 1962, Leonard C. Crewe Jr. sought to build a colonial style home. He commissioned Bryden B. Hyde, a Baltimore-based architect and an officer for the Society for the Preservation of Maryland Antiquities, to design the home. Hyde suggested to Crewe to rebuild an old home instead. John Hurst Purnell Jr., an architect who specialized in the restoration of 18th and19th century homes, oversaw the project as a general contractor. The house was rebuilt with mortar made from oyster shells, a historically accurate additive. In addition to original elements from the Ross House, authentic mid-18th century materials from other buildings were used when needed. The successful reproduction of the original Ross House was completed in three years on the property known as Preservation Hill. The historical home has been meticulously preserved with concealed modern touches throughout. Masterful landscaping around the property includes indigenous plants and flowers known to early Maryland Colonials. Sited gracefully on 6.75 acres. Old soul intact and modern lifestyle amenities in place. Glorious outdoor living sets the tone. A covered outdoor room with incredible brick flooring becomes the hub of all seasonal gatherings with your glistening pool and balanced native gardens in the distance.
