Howard Lodge is a historic plantation at 12301 Howard Lodge Road in north-central Howard County, Maryland.[2] The main house, built around 1750 by Edward Dorsey, is one of the oldest plantation houses in the county. Compared to other houses of the period, the two-story stone structure is larger and its interior finishes better preserved. The surviving plantation property, about 15 acres (6.1 ha), also includes early 19th-century stone outbuildings.[3]
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
