81A-008 James Gardiner House 9408 Juliette Drive Clinton Built for James St. Clair Gardiner and his wife Catherine in 1922, this five-bay single-family dwelling exhibits many details of the Colonial Revival style. Gardiner served on the Board of Directors of the Clinton Bank. The farm was subdivided in 1956 by John M. and Elizabeth Pryde.
Built in 1852, the Mary Surratt House is a two-story, side-gabled frame dwelling with post office and tavern room; it was built as residence, tavern, polling place, and post office, operated by John H. Surratt. His widow, Mary Surratt, was implicated in the Lincoln assassination by her acquaintance with John Wilkes Booth, and hanged for conspiracy. The house, now open to the public as a museum, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and is protected by an easement held by the Maryland Historical Trust.
