BA-282 J.W. Shanklin House 9322 Old Harford Road Cub Hills, Baltimore County 1843 Private The J.W. Shanklin House is located at 9322 Old Harford Road near the historic village of Cub Hills in the Ninth District of Baltimore County. The stone dwelling, augmented by three additions, was constructed in the second quarter of the 19th century and is representative of the many vernacular stone structures erected throughout Baltimore County during this period. Thomas Shanklin purchased the property in 1843, seemingly improving it with the construction of the two-and-a-half-story stone dwelling soon thereafter. The Shanklin family maintained ownership of the property until 1920, a tenure of seventy-seven years. Constructed in circa 1843, the J.W. Shanklin House fronts southeast on a level grassy lot. A paved driveway leads to the rear of the house and the attached non-historic garage. Built of random-rubble stone, the J.W. Shanklin House was constructed in four distinct stages. Many of the original interior details have been replaced with non-historic elements, making dating of the structure and its additions difficult. Two-and-a-half- stories high, this dwelling measures six bays wide and is capped with a side-gable roof. The original main block of the dwelling consists of the three bays, marked by two windows and a side-passage front entry.
