Hard Lodging

Hard Lodging is a historic home located at Union [Bridge, Maryland|Union Bridge], Carroll [County, Maryland|Carroll County], Maryland, United States. It is built on a small cliff overlooking the site where its first owner, Solomon Shepherd, had a mill that is no longer standing. The house was built in three stages: the middle section, a -story brick structure, was probably built first; the main section of the house is attached to the west and is a Federal-style, three-by-two-bay, -story house with an interior gable-end chimney. Hard Lodging is currently a private residence and is no longer owned by the Historical Society. The home is an example of Pennsylvania German architecture.
Hard Lodging was listed on the National [Register of Historic Places] in 1978.
