One of Montgomery County’s most prolific 19th century architects, Thomas Groomes, designed the 1889 Robertson House. Groomes popularized Victorian-era revival styles in the Gaithersburg-Rockville area. In March 1889, the Montgomery County Sentinel heralded the construction of the Robertson residence, reporting that the house was to have 10 rooms, a stair hall, bathroom, front and rear porches and a cellar. Nine months later, the Sentinel lauded the completion of the “irregular Queen Anne villa.” Two-story projecting pavilions with pedimented gables flank the central entrance bay. The south bay (right) is squared while the north bay is polygonal. The walls are textured with narrow clapboards enlivened with fish scale shingles between stories and in gable ends. Samuel S. Robertson grew up nearby at Needwood and inherited the property on which he built his house from his parents, William George and Mary V. K. S. Robertson. The property has also been known as the Eubank’s Farm for its owners in the post-World War II era.
