Trevanion is a historic home located at Uniontown, Carroll County, Maryland, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
Trevanion is a -story brick dwelling with an asymmetrical central hall plan with a tower. The original 1817 house was converted in 1855 to the "villa style" then popular in America, incorporating a combination of Italianate and Gothic architecture elements. Reflecting this is a brick tower and an adjoining gable end projection. In 1857, a -story wing was added. "Trevanion" is a family name and a term meaning "the meeting of streams" in Welsh.[1] The farm was previously known as "Brick Mills", and was owned by the family of slave trader George Kephart, who may have been born there.[2] [3]
