The William Brown House, also known as London Town Publik House or Londontowne Public House, is a former Colonial era tavern located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It was built between 1758 and 1764 by William Brown. From 1828 to 1965 the structure was used as a county alms house. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.〔〔 and 〕 It is located northeast of the Woodland Beach community in Edgewater, MD, at the end of Londontown Road〔 on the south bank of South River, about four miles from Annapolis.〔 Woodland Beach is now also known locally as Londontowne.〔 〕 ==History== The William Brown House was built by William Brown on the south bank of the South River, about south of Annapolis, Maryland on the main road from Williamsburg, Virginia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The South River was crossed at that point by a ferry, owned by Brown. It was part of a community of about 100 lots, of which it is one of two survivors. The house was an extravagance for Brown, and his debts eventually caused him to convey the house and property to the estate of James Dick, who had lent Brown the money for the house and lots. The house was acquired by Anne Arundel County for use as a poorhouse in 1828. It is presently a museum, operated by the London Town Foundation.〔〔
