MonteJoy Outbuildings

Historic Significance: Original slave quarters

Threat: Deterioration

MonteJoy/ Santa Fe Farm may have existed as a dependency of "Chews Resolution Manor" as early as 1695. The Howard County Historic Sites Inventory identifies the stone building lying immediately northeast of the main house as an original slave quarters. Just adjacent to the slave quarters is a log cabin, which is clad in wood siding. This cabin may predate the main house and may have also served as slave quarters.

The main house is undergoing restoration, but the two remaining outbuildings are still deteriorating.
