Snow Hill is a manor house located south of Laurel, Maryland, off Maryland Route 197, in Prince George's County. Built between 1799 and 1801, the {{frac|1|1|2}}-story brick house is rectangular, with a gambrel roof, interior end chimneys, and shed dormers. It has a center entrance with transom and a small gabled porch. A central hall plan was used, with elaborate interior and corner cupboards. The original south wing was removed and rebuilt, and the home restored in 1940. The Late Georgian style house was the home of Samuel Snowden, part owner of extensive family ironworks, inherited from his father Richard Snowden.{{cite web|url=https://mht.maryland.gov/secure/medusa/PDF/NR_PDFs/NR-248.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Snow Hill |date=May 1973 |access-date=2015-08-01 |author=Christopher Owens |publisher=Maryland Historical Trust}} and is now owned and operated by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission as a rental facility.
