Summary
Significance: One of Charles County's finest examples of formal Georgian architecture, Rose Hill is prominently located on high ground with an expansive view of the Port Tobacco valley below. The house was built c. 1784. Rose Hill was the home of Dr. Gustavus Richard Brown (1747-1804) who was a physician and friend of George Washington as well as an avid horticulturalist and landscape architect. Dr. Brown was called to Washington's deathbed at Mt. Vernon, Virginia, to act as one of his medical advisors.
