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.
