Shipley-Curtis Farm
Ellicott City, Howard County, MD
When we select land for development, we evaluate many factors. Occasionally, that evaluation will tell us that sometimes a farm is just supposed to be a farm. Such was the case with the historic Curtis Farm. We placed the land into preservation, and converted the farmhouse into offices. It is now a delightful place to work, surrounded by deer, geese, and foxes. The neighboring development at Shipley’s Grant, a +500-unit townhome community, has the bucolic view of the Curtis Farm and its big red bank barn preserved for generations to come.
