Woodstock
8706 Southeast Crain Highway, Upper Marlboro vicinity
Built circa 1850, earlier wing -- Woodstock is a 2-1/2- story, gable-roof frame plantation house of side-hall-and-double-parlor plan and freestanding brick chimneys. The interior of the house exhibits handsome decorative detail in a rustic Greek Revival style. The main block was built circa 1850 by Washington Custis Calvert of Mount Airy. It was subsequently attached by means of a connecting hyphen to an older kitchen building. Woodstock is a good example of a mid-nineteenth century Greek Revival-style plantation house, and is a noticeable local landmark.
