The Wayside Inn Addition   < Back > Next Client The Wayside Inn is located near an original portion of the Old Columbia Turnpike, which was established in the early 18th Century. This turnpike was intended to serve as a major link from the mill of Ellicott’s Lower Mills, later renamed Ellicott City, south to Georgetown in Washington, DC. An original milepost still stands about 200 yards south of the Inn with the inscription “2M to E.C”. The book, “The Diary of George Cooke: Twenty-three Years On a Maryland Plantation, 1826-1849”, bespeaks the importance of this turnpike on the daily lives of the area plantation owners. We at Coastal Builders are proud to have been selected to build this important addition of a sunroom, roof top deck, and an additional guest suite to the Inn. © 2003 Coastal Builders, Inc.
