The Robinson House is architecturally significant as a rare example of a type of house constructed in the Chesapeake Tidewater region in the mid-18th century. Its 1 half story, gambrel-roofed form is characteristic of the domestic vernacular architecture of the period in the region, but its stone construction is highly unusual; most examples of its type were executed in frame or brick. According to the 1798 Federal Direct Tax for Anne Arundel County, only 2% of the dwellings standing in the county at the end of the 18th century were constructed of stone. The house is presumed to have been constructed c 1740, and substantially achieved its present form and appearance by c 1880. A timber framed outbuilding and hand-dug well also were constructed during this period. - NRHP, 30 September 2009
