Circa - 1790
North of this monument, Robert Ober, a wealthy merchant built his home. A long tree-lined approach adds prominence to this 1½ story brick Georgian-style residence. This Tidewater style of architecture is rarely found in Montgomery County. Distinguishing features include a five bay facade, paired gable end chimneys and a broad sloping roof. The four chimneys serve ten fireplaces. Rolling Ridge was perhaps one of the earliest farming operations in Laytonsville, an area of fertile, well drained soil. The farmstead continued with later owners Warfield, Christopher, Small and Jones families. Once-significant formal landscape elements are attributed to John H. Small III, a landscape architect.| HM Number | HM1DKO |
