History
Built in 1808, Mount Hebron is best known as the mid-nineteenth century home of Judge Thomas Beale Dorsey, who successfully petitioned the Constitutional Convention to give Howard county status in 1851. Judge Dorsey and his wife raised their family in the arms of Hebron House until all the children were grown and on their own, and continued to live in the house until their deaths in the mid-1850s.
Hebron House was designed by N.G. Starkwether, a prominent architect of the day. Starkwether also designed Wilton, which burned in 1938, and El Monte, where one of the Dorsey daughters lived after leaving Hebron House and which still stands on Furrow Avenue today.
Judge Dorsey was forward-thinking and embraced some of the finer details available at the time. Many of the original architectural details remain unchanged today.
Facility Details
Rental of the house includes use of the entire first and second floors, offering up to nine large rooms.
The first floor is well-suited for hosting ceremonies, banquets, and receptions. Altogether, this floor can host up to 100 people. There is also an on-site kitchen available for staging meals.
The second floor has five rooms that are mainly seating areas with couches and occasional chairs. For weddings at MHPC, it may be used by the couple and the wedding party to dress and gather before the ceremony.
