HISTORY
Maryland Historical Trust Inventory Report
Adrian Rowe Wadsworth, a Connecticut lawyer, built this dignified stone residence on a 240 acre farm. According to historian Roger Farquhar, the house was completed in 1854. Wadsworth was among the first property owners in the county to assist in establishing a public school for African-American children, selling a lot for this purpose to the school board in 1873.
In an inventory taken at Sycamores in 1888, livestock included horses, steers, oxen, cows, sheep, chickens, hogs, & bees. That year, Edward B. and Mary R. Prescott, of Illinois, purchased the farm. The dwelling has a double-pile plan with a center hall passage. The cubical house is 65 feet on each side. When the original flat roof was damaged in an 1896 storm, the Prescotts replaced it with the Second Empire style mansard roof. Queen Anne details typical of this era are seen in the dormers: windows have small border panes and walls are sided with fish scale wood shingles. A porch wraps around (3 sides of) the residence.
