ca. 1852-1900
'!he Jacob Dutrow Fanlstead is principally a private residence, tut still
has a group of dc:mestic arrl agricultural outl::uildin:Js, am:>rg which is a pnnp
house arrl windmill, a garage, a wagon shed/ corn crib, arrl the foun:lation of a
probably srookehouse or summer kitchen. '!he property is moderately significant
for the Italianate Revival architectural details of the dwellirg, a two-story
brick house with five bays arrl a one-story porch, arrl a perperrlicular rear
wirg. '!he f onn of the house is the basic German vernacular house of the 19th
century, with the addition of scroll brackets, stilted piers, arrl m:>lded
lintels which are the main eleroonts of the Italianate style in this house.
Compared to the high-style Archibald T. Snouffer House (F-1-165), the Dutrow
House is much m:>re c:::cmoon in occurrence in Frederick county. '!he farm was
established in its present fonn by Jacob rutrow in about 1852, the date of his
purchase of 156 acres fran the heirs of Olarles carroll of carrollton. rutrow
built the house arrl the bank barn, demolished except for a stone foun:lation,
later reb.rilt with a smaller, non-contritutirg \.IR)E!r structure. Accx:>rding to
Grove's History of carrollton Manor, Dutrow was a rabid Southern sympathizer
who was frequently jailed durirg the Civil War period for unspecified reasons
which probably involved generally suspicious behavior or outright statement of
his views.

OONTRIBU1'ING RESOURCE CXXJNT: 5
'lhe Jaex>b rutrow Farmstead is an originally agricultural c:x::rrplex now principally a private residence centered on a two-story brick dwelling 1:uilt about 1852 on the west side of Buckeystown Pike south of Olarrl Road near Adamstown, Frederick COUnty, Maryland. '!he outl:uildirgs are in fair to deteriorated ron:lition arrl include a frame pump house with a wirrlmill, a frame garage, a frame wagon shed/com crib, and the foundation of a probable sm:>kehouse or summer kitchen. 'lhe starrling outl:uildin;Js appear to date from the last quarter of the 19th century and the deioolished danestic outb.rilding may have been contenp::>rary with the dwelling. 'lhe fannstead also rontains several non-contril:A.Iting agricultural 1:uildirgs, including a roncrete block dairy mm, terra CX>tta silo, and milk house. 'lhe original bank barn was probably l::m:ned to the foundation, which was b.lilt over with m:xiern materials. 'lhe house faces east, as the original principal access to the fannstead was from Buckeystown Pike, rut the current main driveway rt:M enters the property from New Design Road. Dates for the Wildirgs were b:lsed on architectural evidence, land records, historical maps, and Grove's History of carrollton Manor (1928), p. 175.
'lhe dwelling was painted white in the past, rut the walls are now weathering, with IOOSt of the paint visible on the east elevation urrler the one-story porch. 'lhe east elevation has a five-bay facade with a center entrance. '!he brick born patterr is 8: 1 American on the east, and 5: 1 on the other elevations arrl rear wing. 'Ih cornice is corbeled arrl the gable roof is covered with starrling seam matal. Interior em chinuleys rise at the north and south ems and two other interior dillnneys are in the rear wing. 'lhe wing extends fran the northwest corner and has a two-story open pordl on the south side. '!he wirrlow and door frarres on all elevations have a shaped lintel with a flat curved incised arch. '!he sash is 6/6 and the main door is a four-panel type. A three-light transan and sidelights surrourrl the door. '!he east elevation porch has chamfered square posts on square bases with scroll brackets. 'lhe deck is wood and is raised on brick piers. A plain wood staircase rises from the lawn to the porch. '!he north elevation has no openings except at the attic level, where two 2/2 wirxlows flank the interior chinuley stack. In the rear wing, a wirxlow on the first story bears infill evidence and is flanked by pilasters, indicating that it was once a doorway to a small entry porch, now missing. '!he south elevation has only two attic wirrlows. '!he interior of the house was inaccessible for this survey.
Foundation of outb.rilding: 'lhe location of the foundation near the southwest ex>rner of the rear wing in:licates the deioolished structure was probably a sm:>kehouse, a maathouse, or a surrmer kitchen. 'lhe foundation is partially roncealed in a grass-covered Il'OUlrl on which brick, stone, and wood debris are visible.
Pump house and wirrlmill: 'lhe frame pump house and wirrlrnill are located northwest of the house. 'lhe rectangular one-story Wilding was probably used for other purposes in addition to housing the pump machinery, tut the interior was inaccessible for further ol::servation. '!he south elevation has three bays in the gennan siding, with a four-panel door in the west bay am 6/6 wirdows in the other bays. 'lhe gab]

'Ihe Jacob Dutrow Fannstead is IOOderately significant for the architecture of the dwelling, a restrained version of the Italianate Revival whidl was pcp.llar in the period about 1840-1880. 'Ihe IlltrCM House, :t:uilt about 1852, shows the style primarily in the decorative details on the regionally oannx:m Gennan vernacular dwelling fonn, with a five-bay main section arrl a perpem.icular rear wing. 'Ihe scroll brackets, stilted square columns of the porch, arrl the irolded lintels of the wi.rxiCM arrl door frames are the principal elements of the Italianate style. In the AdarnstCMn Region, several high-style Italianate Revival mansions along BuckeystCMn arrl New Design Roads are perhaps better exanples of the style (see F-1-165, "rchibald T. Snouffer House, located within sight of the IlltrC7.Y House to the south), lt the DutrCM House is a good, little-altered representative of the irore IOOdest
exterior style which is foun:l in all sections of the County. 'Ihe fannstead is also minimally significant for the purrp house arrl windrnill, although the state of deterioration has lowered its integrity. In the Adamstown Region, the generally flat, open larrl led several fanners in the late 19th arrl early 20th centuries to install windmills arrl pulTp houses. 'Ihe best representative in terns of integrity is on the Joseph N. <lliswell Fannstead, F-1-188. Jacob DutrCM was described in Grove's History of Carrollton Manor (1928) as having :t:uilt the house arrl the denolished bank barn. Deed records irxiicate that he purdlased the property in 1852 fran Olarles Tucker Carroll, the holder during the 1840's arrl 1850's of one of the Grarrl Divisions of Carrollton Manor, the 1821 apportiorment of the Manor larrls to Cl'larles Carroll of Carrollton' s heirs. Dutrow was also characterized as being "intensely Southern in his views arrl was on several occasions arrested arrl pit in prison", during the Civil War. 'Ibis attitude was c::omron airong IrOst of the large property CMners in the Adamstown Region, who were virtually all slaveowners as well.
