This stately home was built in the 1840's at the height of the Classical Revival Period. The stone cornice is unusual and tradition has it the bricks used in the facade were brought from Baltimore. The remaining bricks were made in a foundry in the basement. The Fullerton Family purchased the home a few years later and brought with them the exquisitely carved Federal Mantle in the home's parlor. The home stayed with the Fullerton's for the next 150 years. Being passed down through the women of the family- "Fullerton, Day & Dick". During the 40's the home was turned into three apartments. Bill Hirsch bought the house in 2002. Restoring it to its original floor plan. It opened in July, 2003 as the, "Atwood House Bed & Breakfast".
