Laveille House "Laveille House, with its French roof, is one of the most interesting buildings in Calvert County.  It stands on a tract called Harwood and Letchworth.  A portion of this tract was granted to Robert Harwood, who was an overseer for Robert Brooke, Esq.  It was acquired later by the Tasker family, and then by Henry Broome.  Tradition attributes the construction of Laveille House to Moses Parran Duke.  Still later it became the seat of the Laveille family."  -- Charles Francis Stein

Taney Place "Berry, a tract of 600 acres, was acquired by William Berry, a Puritan settler of 1652.  His son, James Berry, sold it to Michael Taney, High Sheriff of Calvert County.  Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney was born here.  A tree stump on the front lawn marks the site of the celebrated duel between Michael Taney V and John Magruder.  Taney escaped from the house by a secret passage leading to the river.  Examination of the structure indicates that it was originally one story and later raised to its present height.  Taney Place was acquired by Young Dorsey Hance in the early Nineteenth Century."  -- Charles Francis Stein
