Stancioff House
About this property
The Landon House, also known as the Stancioff House, is a historic home located at Urbana, Frederick County, Maryland, United States. It was built about 1849 and is a large three-story frame house with a notable clerestory roof and a two-story full-length galleried porch. The home's interior woodwork is simple Greek Revival style. The former smokehouse has been converted to a chapel. The house is said to have originally stood on the Rappahannock River near Fredericksburg, Virginia, and moved to its present location in 1846 at the direction of the Reverend R.H. Phillips. It has been used as both a school and a private home. Reverend Phillips established a Female Seminary here between 1846 and 1850, then became a military institute for boys, and by the end of the 1850s it had resumed its role as a Female Seminary. It was used by the 155th Pennsylvania Volunteers as a resting point for Union Troops marching toward the Battle of Antietam on September 16, 1862. The house would host a cotillion ball for Confederate soldiers before becoming a field hospital during the Civil War. During 2013 the building was purchased by new owners who have plans to restore it to its Civil War state. The house was listed as the Stancioff House on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The building is located on the Antietam Campaign Civil War Trail.
