Agent Remarks
Springfield Farm was built in the mid 1700's by George Ross. He was a supplier for troops during the French and Indian War. Springfield Farm was then puchased by Revolutionay War general, Otho Holland Williams, founder of Williamsport, MD. The central
part of the house of stone and brick, now covered with clapboard, was proabaly built before the Revolution. It's two-story pedimented porch and small-paned windows, together with the betten double doors at either endof the entrance hall, link it to the Tidewater
Maryland architecture of the mid-eighteenth century. The brick right wing and many of the outbuildings are thought to have been added under the direction of General Williams. The large square brick left wing, now a seperate residence, was built around 1878.
