S M -41 ST. JEROME'S ~ Dameron Private early 19th century

This small 1 1/2-story structure, built in the first

quarter of the 19th century, was originally a half-size

version of the hall, parlori and back rooms plan. An

addition was made in the 1830's to enlarge the house and

complete the plan. The present floor plan consists of

four first-floor rooms and a short rear stair hall. There

are two exterior chimneys on the early portion and one

on the later addition. The paved piazza dates to the

initial construction period and was extended along the

addition when it was built.

Also see archeological listing.

ST. JEROME MANOR, an example of the Marine style, has elliptical arches on the porch and freestanding chimneys with pent. The house was built on 4i50 acres surveyed in 1648 for Capt. Wm. Rawly; this property is called "manor" in the original records.

The Loker family tombstones nearby date from 1800. This family once owned "Mulberry Fields", the great mansion Carther up the Potomac.
