Grassland is a historic house at Annapolis Junction, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It was built in 1853, and is a three-part brick structure constructed in a telescoping manner. Other structures on the property were erected between 1852 and 1854 by enslaved people: the one-story frame slave house with brick-nogged walls; a small stone smokehouse; the remains of a summer kitchen; and a frame harness shed, storage shed, and the ruins of a bank barn.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

As of January 2023, the property is overgrown with weeds and tall grass. The buildings located here at this site also appear to be in total disrepair.
