The Magruder House:
Built for William Hilleary and visited by George Washington in 1787, the Magruder House is one of four surviving pre-Revolutionary buildings in Bladensburg. It has been owned or rented by a series of five doctors, including Dr. Archiband Magruder.
The house is located directly on the main road through Bladensburg and during the War the British marched past the house on their way to the engagement at Bladensburg bridge. |
