Snow Hill is about 25 miles inland from Ocean City.
The property, completed in 1793, is what the listing calls one of the earliest examples of a pediment, or temple-front, home in Maryland’s Worcester County. It was built by James Rownd Morris, a clerk of Worcester County Courts, and his wife, Leah Winder Morris, the sister of Levin Winder, the 14th governor of Maryland.
It was later owned by Col. Levin Handy, a Revolutionary War hero in the Battle of the Barges and former aide to George Washington.

I believe that Judge Edward O. Thomas, the first District Court Judge in Worcester County, live there in the 1970s. I think he paid less than $100,000 for it back then. But in those days $40,000 would buy all the house you needed.
Oh, horrors! WINDER's sister????
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
Tear it down first! Then you can sell the empty lot!!!
I'm soooooo triggered, LOL!
That would be a great buy if waterfront or on more than 5 acres.
