The Hargrove House was built in the newly platted North Fairmount Heights subdivision by brick mason Samuel Hargrove, who was born in North Carolina in 1870 and was listed as a brick mason in the 1910 census, the same year he and his wife purchased four lots there. Probably unique in Prince George's County, the house is an unusual two-story dwelling with molded brick detail, a shallow hip roof, and a long narrow floor plan. A one-story porch supported by square brick posts shelters most of the long west elevation, and the main entrance is in the second bay of the north façade.
