Prospect Hall is an historic mansion. Built around 1787 on what was know at the time as Red Hill, the highest elevation in Frederick, Maryland. It has hosted visitors from George Washington to Harry Truman. The mansion was the site of General Meade's takeover of the Army of the Potomac from General Hooker immediately before the Battle of Gettysburg. It is currently the site of Saint John's Literary Institution (also known as Saint John's Catholic Prep).
