Grassland is a historic house at Annapolis Junction, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It was built in 1853, and is a three-part brick structure constructed in a telescoping manner. Other structures on the property are the one-story frame slave house with brick-nogged walls, a small stone smokehouse, the remains of a summer kitchen, and a frame harness shed, storage shed, and the ruins of a bank barn. The outbuildings are known to have been erected between 1852 and 1854 by the plantation slaves.[2]
