The Anchorage (Easton, Maryland)

The Anchorage is a historic home located in Easton, Talbot County, Maryland, United States. It is a large, 2 1/2-story brick dwelling, Flemish bond on the front, laid in irregular common bond elsewhere, built in the third quarter of the 18th century. The house is notable for its Georgian architectural style, particularly its interior woodwork and detailing. The property also includes several contributing outbuildings, including a smokehouse and a dairy.

The Anchorage's historical significance stems from its association with prominent families and its representation of the architectural trends of the period in the Chesapeake region. It stands as a well-preserved example of a substantial colonial-era plantation house, reflecting the agricultural and social history of Talbot County. The house has undergone renovations and additions over time, but retains much of its original character and fabric. The location along the Tred Avon River likely played a significant role in its establishment as a center for commerce and agricultural activity.
