Dowden's Luck is a historic house located at Poolesville, Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. The main house is a 2+12-story, late Federal-style frame house. Major additions were made in 1855 and 1910. Also on the property are a one-story gable-roofed stone slave quarters, a one-story gable-roofed brick smokehouse, a stone spring house, and the foundations of two barns, all built during the 1824-1850 plantation period. An overgrown terraced garden in its original configuration as constructed around 1855 stands to the west of the house.[2]

Dowden's Luck was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
