Summary

2013 Leicester B. Holland Prize, Entry
Significance: The Accokeek Farm House attributes its significance to its unique design and pattern of development. Comprised of two log structures linked together by a center frame structure, the house is unusual locally in its form. Paired with its isolated location in a wooded clearing, which helps to maintain the original setting, the Accokeek Farm House is an exceptional example of mid 19th-century vernacular construction.
Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N1980
