Originally a blacksmith shop, this home was built in the middle of the eighteenth century. It stands on a tract once known as “Magruder’s Honesty.” Believed to have been built by Ninian Magruder, Senior (d. 1751), it is one of the oldest standing structures in Montgomery County.

Marker is at the intersection of River Road (Maryland Route 190) and Old Seven Locks Road, on the right when traveling west on River Road.
