Furley Hall
Inscription
Furley Hall On hill to the north stood the Georgian mansion built c. 1775 by Daniel Bowley II (1745-1807), Baltimore merchant and patriot of the Revolution. He was a town commissioner, 1771-1778, and three times a state senator. In 1814, British soldiers occupied the estate. It was purchased in 1847 by William Corse, Sr. (1804-1869), whose garden was a favorite of his friends Enoch Pratt and Johns Hopkins.
Damaged by fire in 1906, Furley Hall was razed in 1953. Maryland Bicentennial Commission Maryland Historical Trust Maryland State Highway Administration
