Bethesda House is a multi-phase dwelling located near Ellicott City in Howard County, Maryland. The main house is composed of three sections: a one-room deep, three-bay wide stone building in the center of the range with a larger granite structure attached to the west and a modern addition with a mansard roof attached to the east. Dendrochronology has shown that the primary phase, the center section, was constructed in the winter of 1827/8 or very shortly thereafter.
