“Hitching Post Hill” or “Ash Hill”

George Calvert sold this land in 1836 to Robert Clark, who built the house in 1840. General Edward F. Beale, an early surveyor and government agent in the Southwest, bought the estate in 1875. Presidents Grant and Cleveland were frequent visitors, as was Buffalo Bill Cody, and Grant’s Arabian horses were kept on the land.
