Black and white 3 1/2"h x 3 1/2"w photo of St. Mary's Manor. Mr. Fenwick's text: "St. Mary's Manor (East St. Mary's) at St. Mary's City. Designed and built by Vincent Camalier, architect, in 1846-7." [This house is known as the Brome-Howard house.] This view shows the land side of the clapboard house and its additions. It has a gable roof with two gable dormers visible on the right. There are two windows in the roof peak with their shutters closed. There are inside end chimneys on each slope of the roof. On the second floor there is one six over six window with dark shutters on the gable end near the corner and on the front there are three six over six double hung windows with dark shutters. The middle window has its shutters closed. On the first floor there is a window near the corner of the house that has its shutters closed. The gable roofed and pedimented porch has square posts tapering toward the top. There are three substantial bays. The porch is several steps above the ground and is on piers with lattice work in between. There is a very large bush right in front of the porch and another of a different species on the end. A two story addition with an outside end chimney is on the left. There are two small three over three windows with dark shutters up under the eaves and a similar window in the gable end. There is a shed roof porch on the first floor supported by slim white posts. It is two bays wide. An additional one story addition is attached to this first one and incorporates its chimney. There is a high small three light window on the wall and then lattice work that probably shelters a small porch.
