Additional Description: Visitors coming to Rockwood entered the property through a gate by this lodge, where the gatekeeper lived. Baltimore architects Thomas and James Dixon designed the building in 1855. The building's style and materials introduced visitors to Joseph Shipley's English country house, which they would see at the top of the hill.
