Araby is a historic house located near Mason Springs, Charles County, Maryland. An example of Federal architecture, it was built in the mid-1700s and underwent extensive renovations a hundred years later. Much of the house remains unaltered from that time.[2]
The house was the property of William and Sarah Eilbeck. Their daughter Anne and her husband George Mason lived there from time to time. George Washington, who owned a nearby property, was a frequent visitor.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
