National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form

Buckeystown has made a significant contribution to the historical, industrial, and architectural development and fabric of Frederick County. The town primarily embodies the distinctive characteristics of a late-19th century community highlighted by many of Frederick County's finest examples of Carpenter Gothic and Colonial Revival styles with a few earlier stone and brick residences which symbolize the initial 18th century development of the area. Beginning in the late 18th century and spanning the 19th century, Buckeystown grew as a center of industrial activity in Frederick County with a tannery, mills, and the close proximity to the agricultural production of Carrollton Manor and developing primarily through the efforts of the Baker family into a center for brick manufacturing and canning activity. However, the predominant character of the town is no longer industrial but quiet residential with little if any changes from the period of 1870-1910 when it grew to its present size by the construction of outstanding private residences, churches, and worker housing for cannery and brickyard workers, domestics, executives of the Baker business, and retired farmers.
