WILLIAM DURBIN HOUSE

1000 Fenby Farm Road Westminster vicinity

1767

Private

The beginnings of Methodism in America occurred in Carroll

County with the establishment of a class meeting by Robert

Strawbridge. William Durbin, who built this house, was a

member of Strawbridge's original class. Bishop Francis

Asbury visited Durbin at this house on November 22, 1772.

Durbin was an active religious leader whose activities

included service as a trustee of the Union Meeting House in

Westminster. His house is constructed of stone covered in

stucco. The original house was two bays wide and consisted

of the northern two bays of the current six-bay structure.

The north gable end of this section has a painted date of

1767. The enlargement of the house took place during the

early nineteenth century. The house currently serves as

the clubhouse for the Wakefield Valley Golf Club.
