Overview
Half-Way House, also known as The Wiseburg Inn, is a historic inn and toll house located on York Road at Parkton, Baltimore County, Maryland, in the United States. It is a large, two-and-a-half-story Flemish bond brick structure. The main part of the building was constructed as an inn about 1810 and was placed in front of an earlier log structure, which has since been used as a kitchen. The property includes three of the original outbuildings: a stone dairy, a stone laundry, and a board-and-batten shed or ice house. The inn was built to serve travelers on the newly opened turnpike from Baltimore to York. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and a boundary increase took place in 1989. The building is a surviving example of early nineteenth-century roadside hospitality architecture in Maryland.
