The '''Curtis—Shipley Farmstead''' is a historic home located at [[Ellicott City, Maryland|Ellicott City]], [[Howard County, Maryland|Howard County]], [[Maryland]], [[United States]]. It is located on the first land grant in modern Howard County, then Anne Arundel County, to the English settler Adam Shipley in 1688 who settled properties in Maryland as early as 1675. The 500-acre estate was called "Adam the First".

In 1874, the property was sold with buildings to Peter A. Harmon. A two-story [[Gothic Revival]] frame house built with an addition built by John and Lousia Curtis in 1891. Southeast of the main house is a [[gable]]-front frame garage, a one-story shed-roofed chicken house, a hog barn, a frame board-and-[[batten]] granary, and a board-and-batten [[bank barn]] with an unusually deep forebay. The property also contains Shipley and Brown family cemetery.
