This is Strong Mansion, which is located on Sugarloaf Mountain. The house, like the town of Stronghold at the foot of the mountain, was named after Gordon Strong who owned the mountain at the begining of the 20th century. It seems odd for one person to own a mountain, but it is somewhat common. (While not owned by a person, the summit of Backbone Mountain, the highest point in MD is owned by a coal company.)
