Athol is a historic home located at Henderson, Caroline County, Maryland. It is a 2 12-story single-pile brick dwelling built around 1825 by William Jones. It has several characteristics common to the few remaining early-19th-century brick three-bay-wide houses of modest size on the Eastern Shore of Maryland: Flemish bond facade, common bond on the sides and rear, chimneys at each end of a gable roof, and Federal stylistic influence.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
