The Rorabaugh House was a historic Romanesque house located on Guilford Road in Jessup, Maryland.
The structure was built by William P. Cresson in a period after Howard County was split off from Anne Arundel County. Micheal Fitzsimmons purchased the property on October 5, 1863, for $4,600. The two-story, L-shaped wood-framed house sat on property subdivided down to 4.5 acres. The adjoining lots and structures created for the daughters of the heirs were destroyed to create Maryland Route 32.[1]
The house was once owned by Maryland Maryland House of Delegates and politician William C. Bevan.[2][3] The house was razed between 1984 and 1988.
