National Register of Historic Places Inventory--Nomination Form

Waverly is primarily significant for its association with General John Eager Howard, Governor of Maryland from 1788-1791. The property was one of many owned by General Howard, although it is not believed that he actually lived here. General Howard deeded the property to his son George Howard on his marriage in 1811 to Prudence Gough Ridgely of "Hampton" in Baltimore County. George Howard, who led an active political life, including serving as Governor of Maryland from 1831-1833, as well as that of gentleman farmer, is believed to have been the one most likely to have built the house. The estate under the ownership of Governor Howard evidently prospered for the size of his property increased measurably between 1820 and 1846, the year of his death. Following his death, the property was divided and sold.
