LaVale Toll House - Odd-Shaped Buildings on Waymarking.com

The LaVale Toll house was constructed in 1833. It's the only remaining toll house in Maryland. The odd shape enabled the toll collector to see in all directions and watch for "pikers" who tried to avoid paying the tolls. The building has a five sided two story section in front and a one story extension in back. Although it's described everywhere as seven sided it really has eight sides if you count the rear wall with the chimney.

Building Address: 14302 National Highway (Alt. US 40) LaVale, MD USA 21502 Is it open to the general public?: yes When was it built? (Approximate if you must.): 07/01/1833 What is the name of this building?: LaVale Toll House
