Lilburn (Ellicott City, Maryland)

Lilburn Mansion, also known as the Balderstones Mansion or Hazeldene, is a historic gothic revival home located in Ellicott City, Maryland. Built in 1857 for Baltimore foundry owner Henry Richard Hazlehurst, the mansion features unique architectural elements such as a bell tower and solarium. Although a fire in 1923 caused significant damage, the site remains a point of interest, especially for those intrigued by its haunted history. Originally part of a vast 2,500-acre land grant, the estate has been reduced to 8 acres, making it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers alike.
