Tilghman Island M-House
Fri, Apr 10, 2009
The M-House, an 1890s-era design indigenous to Tilghman Island in Maryland. Regardless of the direction of the wind, this house could capture the flow due to the unique m-shaped design.

My great grandfather lived in an M house on Tilghman Island. My grandfather lived on Wharf road and there was a M house half way down and two at the intersection, one was Miss Geraldine’s and the other has been moved to lower Tilghman. Even as a kid, I was intrigued by the unique design. I would love to have a floorplan of an M house.
I recently found out that the house at the intersection of Wharf and Tilghman Island road did not move; it burned down. This happened over 20 years ago. I visited the island in October of 2011 and the other two on Wharf road are doing fine.
