According to the Maryland Historical Trust’s National Register Properties, the Curtis-Shipley Farmstead, located at Waterloo Road in Ellicott City, is considered locally significant for its architecture as a well-preserved example of a type of farmstead characteristic of rural Howard County from the late 19th through mid-20th century.

The circa 1891 frame farmhouse, which is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, features period interior and exterior details, and has been in the Curtis family since it was built.

Having since sold the farmhouse, the Curtis family will be placing the contents of the home, many of which are antiques original to the house, up for online auction, hosted by online auction company, MaxSold (maxsold.com).
