The England-Crown farmhouse was built sometime in the late 1870s or early 1880s. 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 date of the old picture is unkown. "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 I-house. The house was located off Fields Road, right before you enter the Washingtonian Center. The 100-year-old house was demolished in May of 2010 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"
