Historic Gem
True historic gem has been carefully restored. This handsome stone structure has authentic rim locks throughout with all hardware true to the period. Windows have been carefully restored with antique wavy glass. All porches have view of the beaufiful Susquehanna River.Rowland Mansion c. 1856
This three story, three-bay Italianate building is constructed of Port Deposit granite with raised mortar joints and faces Oyster Shell Alley. The two shuttered false windows on the northeast corner were placed to achieve symmetry. The entrance has a superb colored glass transom and is flanked by Doric pilasters; it is sheltered by a large entrance porch with bracketed cornice and column capitals created with brackets. A frame addition stands on the west side. The house was built by James Rowland and bought by the Presbyterian Church in 1904 for use as a manse. About eighty years later it was sold to a private owner.As seen in the book At the Head of the Bay, A cultural and architectural history of Cecil County, Maryland, Page 437
