Notes
  • Significance: Weston is an excellent example of a large, early 19th-century Prince Geroge's County brick plantation house with refined decorative details in the late-Federal and Greek Revival styles. The house was built ca. 1820 for the most successful plantation owner in the Upper Marlboro area, Thomas Clagett VI. The property has been in the Claggett family since before the turn of the 18th century, the site of the Clagett family homestead for nine generation.
