Williams' Conquest, also known as Williams' Green, is a historic home located at Marion Station, Somerset County, Maryland, United States. It is a 1 1⁄2-story Flemish bond brick house constructed about 1733 on Gales Creek. Additions occurred between 1825 and 1850 with the frame kitchen with an exterior chimney on the gable end, and a smaller utility wing added in 1968. The house represent the first phase of permanent Somerset County buildings that have survived to modern times.
Williams' Conquest was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Famous quotes containing the word conquest:
“While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
