The Henry Shoemaker/Brigham Farmhouse is located along the northern edge of the Old National Pike in Middletown, MD. It dates from approximately 1810-1815 and is a 2 1/2 story (plus basement), five bay brick structure and a one-story kitchen wing extending to the rear. The property was entered into the National Register of Historic Places, a division of the National Park Service, US Department of the Interior.

On the grounds is also a small detached cottage that includes a spacious living room, bedroom, kitchen and full bath, that is presently rented for $1,000 per month. Most window and door frames are original, consisting of moderately wide members, secured at the corners with pegs. A notable feature of the exterior is the pair of cast iron tie rod anchors, one on each gable. The remaining interior woodwork is a conservative mixture of Federal and Georgian period elements.
