National Register of Historic Places Registration Form

The house known as Tipahato is significant as an impressive example of a type of rural summer residence that reflects the eclectic melding of several distinctive architectural styles popular in the early 20th century. In particular, the styles represented by this building include the Craftsman/Bungalow, American Foursquare, the Late Victorian Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival styles. Built c. 1906 as a summer "cottage" by a wealthy urbanite from Baltimore, the natural stone and cedar shingle construction blends well into the mountain landscape. As with many of the summer houses in the nearby villages of Pen Mar, Blue Ridge Summit, Highfield, and Cascade, the immense size and stylish appearance of Tipahato stands in marked contrast to the vernacular dwellings typical of the region. Tipahato's wide veranda offers spectacular views of the Western Maryland countryside, in accordance with its character as a rural retreat dwelling.
