Round About Hills or Peacefields is a historic slave plantation home located at Glenwood, Howard County, Maryland. An alternate address for this house is 14581 McClintock Drive, Glenwood, Maryland.[1] It was built about 1773 on a 266-acre land patent and consists of a -story frame house with a stone end. Thomas Beale Dorsey inherited the property in 1794 then exchanged his interest in the plantation with Thomas Cook's stagecoach wayside town Cooksville.[2] [3]
The main block is three bays wide by one bay deep, with a gambrel roof and 1-story hip-roofed porch. It features a long screened porch with exposed rafter tails and an 1820 stone kitchen addition. Also on the property is a stone slave quarters outbuilding and a small frame outbuilding.[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
