The residential area at North Adams Street and Middle Lane contains four of Rockville’s oldest surviving homes: 101 North Adams Street, 106 North Adams, 5 North Adams, and the Beall-Dawson House. The 1793 portion of the house at 5 North Adams is probably the oldest structure in Rockville, with its original section consisting of a two-story, two-room attic and lean-to on the northwest corner. Philip Jenkins built it and rented it out. The property was enlarged and had a stable by 1866, and the Miller family added the Victorian addition on the south in 1887. It is currently used as a law office. The house at 101 North Adams Street was built around a log dwelling dating to the late 18th century. In 1799, W. P. Williams, subdivider of "Williamsburgh," sold two lots with a small house to Thomas Perry Willson for 40 pounds. The log dwelling faced Middle Lane until it was remodeled in the 1920s to face Adams. The front portion of 106 North Adams is a log-framed, clapboard-covered dwelling built around 1825 by Rev. Joseph Jones of the recently formed Bethel Baptist Church. It is a two-story, four-room Federal house with Greek Revival detailing. George Peters Jr. and his wife Lavinia added several 19th-century additions to accommodate their seven children, and it was enlarged again and restored in the 20th century. It remains a private home.
