Ash Hill (Maryland)
Historic house in Maryland, US
About
Ash Hill, also known as Hitching Post Hill, is a historic two-story brick dwelling located on Rosemary Lane in Hyattsville, Prince George's County, Maryland. The house was built around 1840 by Robert Clark, an Englishman who sought the peace and quiet of the countryside as a contrast to the crowded city life Washington, D.C.
In 1875, the property was purchased by General Edward Fitzgerald Beale, a well-connected figure known for his influential social circle. Beale was a close personal friend of President U.S. Grant, who visited Ash Hill and even kept his two Arabian horses, Leopard and Linden, stabled at Ash Hill. Beale also entertained other prominent figures of the time, including President Grover Cleveland and the famous showman Buffalo Bill Cody.
