Black and white photo of Southampton in Chaptico. It was a substantial two and a half story cedar-shake house. The house had almost a Dutch style roof line. This gable end had two large brick chimneys, each with a failed corbel. The chimney on the right was almost totally obscured by vines, as was the gap between the chimneys. There appeared to be a small window in the very peak of the house. There were four over four windows with shutters on outside of the chimneys. If there was a window between the chimneys, it was obscured by vines. On the right side of the roof were shallow dormers. On the first floor there were six over six windows with shutters on the outside of each chimney and between the chimneys. There was a closed shed roof porch on the left and another on the right. The porch on the right was screened and had white supporting posts. The porch on the left had dark posts. There was a picket fence with a gate enclosing a yard on the left. Some of the windows of the house appeared to be open, but there are few leaves on the trees; they were all on the ground. On the left roofline, several shingles had come loose and the house had a general air of disrepair.

On a separate sheet, transcribed "Southampton, one of St. Mary's county's very old frame houses, is said to have been built in the seventeenth century by Richard Bond. This home was for many years the home of the Waring family. On the 4th of April 1943, this beautiful old home was destroyed by fire. At the time of its destruction, it was the home of that lovable old couple, Samuel Bond Hayden and his wife Anne Waring Hayden, better known as Miss Nannie."
Transcription: "The great room at Southampton this room was one of Southampton's finest features. Those who remember entering this room describe its beauty as breath-taking. The room had a certain charm and beauty of workmanship that has not often been surpassed. I walked into this room as the home was burning 4th April 1943. I was a member of Leonardtown Vol. Fire Dept.
