Crown Farm is a 180-acre farm that included two historic houses (one has recently been demolished), several agricultural buildings and a loghouse that dates back to the early 1800's. The farm is located on Fields Road, across the street from the Washingtonian complex (RIO), and is one of the only remaining pieces of original farmland in the area. Development of Crown Farm is underway... "COMMENTS"

The England-Crown farmhouse was built in 1894. The structure is an excellent example of a stylish Victorian house found in Montgomery County during the late 19th century. Notice the ornate front porch. The old picture was taken the same year the house was built. "COMMENTS"

The Heeter-Crown farmhouse was built sometime around 1900 after an older house on the site burned down. It was a two-story, three-bay frame house. The house was located off Fields Road, right before you enter the Washingtonian Center. The 100-year-old house has recently been demolished to make way for more development. "COMMENTS"

Late in the evening on May 29, 2011 several of the outbuildings at Crown Farm mysteriously burned to the ground, including the large dairy barn and hay barn. Most of these structures were built in the early 20th century. "COMMENTS"
