Jericho Farm is a historic home located near Kingsville, Baltimore County, Maryland, near historic Jerusalem Mill Village. It is a large 2+1⁄2-story gable-roofed stone 25 by 30-foot dwelling house.[2]

The house was constructed in two periods: the original dwelling, built circa 1771 consisting of a 2+1⁄2-story, side-passage, double pile house; additions were made in 1780; about 1820, a five-bay, 2+1⁄2-story, center-passage, single pile house was constructed against the south gable of the earlier building. [3]

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