Commodore Joshua Barney House

The Commodore Joshua Barney House is a historic home located at Savage, Howard County, Maryland, United States.

[2] It was originally situated on a 700-acre tract in modern Savage Maryland named Harry's Lot, at a time when the closest town was Elk Ridge.

His daughter would become the famous Commodore Joshua Barney's second wife, bringing the figure from business in Baltimore.

Its significance is tied to Commodore Joshua Barney, who was a hero of the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, and who lived in the house until leaving the industrial operations to family just prior to his death in 1818 from wartime wounds en route to another property owned in Kentucky.

Barney rose to prominence for action during the war while living in this house including involvement in commissioning "The Star-Spangled Banner".
