Photographer: Allen C. Browne
Taken: December 18, 2017
Caption: Courthouse Cannon
Additional Description: “Facing Court House Lane is the Howard County Courthouse on Capitoline Hill. Like most buildings in Ellicott City it is a Classic-­Revival structure of local granite. The battered old British cannon on the lawn, captured at the Battle of Bladensburg in the War of 1812 by ‘Bachelor’ John Dorsey, was one of the few souvenirs the Americans got out of that encounter.” -- Maryland, a Guide to the Old Line State, 1940.
