The Somerset House

Article Abstract:

The Somerset House in Somerset County, MD, not only serves as a home to the Minors but also houses Aileen Minor's antiques dealership business. It took 10 years of searching before the Minors found Somerset, which they discovered in relative good shape despite its age. The early-to-mid-19th-century home was built as a grand dwelling that is situated amidst lovely gardens.
