Description

Photograph of the Chase-Lloyd House at number 22 Maryland Avenue in Annapolis, Maryland. Construction of this three-story Georgian townhouse was begun in 1769 by Samuel Chase (1741-1811), a revolutionary leader, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and justice of the United States Supreme Court. It was sold unfinished in 1771 to Edward Lloyd (1779-1834), Governor of Maryland from 1809 to 1811 and United States Senator from Maryland between 1819 and 1826, who called in architect William Buckland (1734-1774) to finish the house. A horse-drawn wagon with a bearded Caucasian man sitting in its seat is parked in front of the house, with an African American man holding the horse's halter. On both sides of the house are tall trees; and high shrubs grow along the inside of a white wooden fence that appears to surround the property. An electric pole rises from the sidewalk by the front steps of the house. (Photograph provided courtesy of Marion E. Warren, Annapolis, Maryland, file number 3340.)
