Despite the damages that he sustained during the Civil War, James Gambrill's milling business continued to thrive in the postwar years. As perhaps the most conspicuous symbol of his success, his Second-Empire style house ("Edgewood") was constructed sometime around 1872, commanding an expansive view of his mill and farm. Although in most architectural respects Edgewood was typical of pattern book designs from the period, with its distinctive mansard roof and central tower, the three-story brick home was nevertheless one of the very few full-scale Second Empire structures ever built in Frederick County.
The main block of the house was richly ornamented and constructed on a double-pile center-passage plan. A broad porch spanned the length of the northwest front facade, and upper-story balconies projected from the second and third floors. A long three-story service wing was integrated into the rear of the house, forming an ell. Gambrill later added an enclosed rear porch, divided into a lower level summer dining room and an upper level solarium.
