About Chase-Loyd House
Construction of the Chase-Loyd House began for Samuel Chase in 1769. After Chase sold the unfinished Annapolis mansion to Edward Lloyd IV in 1771, Lloyd completed it in 1774. The three-story brick residence served the Lloyd family and displayed Georgian interiors designed in part by William Buckland and William Noke. Its principal historical use was as an elite private home.
The original Georgian mansion remains in Annapolis as a protected historic residence associated with a charitable retirement home. Its restored main-floor rooms, elaborate central staircase, architectural fabric, and formal garden are available during limited public access, while upper floors continue serving residential purposes.
History happened here at Chase-Loyd House
The house remained in the Lloyd family until 1847, when it was sold to a relation of Chase. Hester Anne Chase was the daughter of Jeremiah Townley Chase who was Samuel Chase's cousin. When she died, she left the house to her 3 orphan nieces, Francis, Matilda, and Hester. In 1888 the house was bequeathed for use as a home for elderly women by the will of the last living niece, Hester.
