architectural reports, copies of HABS/HAER or other documentation, drawings, and the “vertical files” at
the MHT Library in Crownsville. The vertical files may include newspaper clippings, field notes, draft

201 High Street Cambridge, Maryland RSM 49/525
This house was built in the first quarter of the twentieth century
by Donald Stewart, youngest son of Judge James A. Stewart. (See 203
High Street). The lot was the site of a cottage built in 1851 by Judge
Stewart. On his death in 1879, the lot passed to his widow Rebecca,
who devised it to her son Donald in 1899. Donald tore down the cottage
and built this vernacular style house. The strucutre is not particularly
significant from an architectural or historical point of view, but
blends in with the other historic houses on High Street.
