Montrose-Built in 1844 by Dr. William H. Hardey, prominent physician and secessionist in the Civil War, Montrose holds strong ties with the Randall family of Maryland. One of Dr. Randall's six children married John Randall, brother of James Ryder Randall, the author of "Maryland, My Maryland!" Rene Le Blanc, a character in Longfellow's "Evangeline," and Robert Hooper of Marblehead, Massachusetts, whose family included a signer of the Declaration of Independence, are also numbered among the family ancestors. A fine example of Howard County's Georgian architecture, Montrose was added to around 1898 when Virginia Hardey, sister of Mrs. Randall bought the property and opened a boarding school. Its association with James Ryder Randall ensures its national as well as its local historical significance.
