Legg's Dependence, a historic hall and parlor house in Stevensville, Queen Anne's County, Maryland, exemplifies the layered architectural development of the Chesapeake region. Built in stages beginning around 1760–80 as a modest single-story dwelling, the house was enlarged during the second quarter of the nineteenth century into its present form—a 2½-story center-hall plan structure of Flemish bond brick that blends Georgian and Greek Revival stylistic elements. The property, also known as Long Creek Farm and William E. Porter Farm, bears witness to the region's complex history: it once enslaved Sling and Sarah Louis, who were subsequently sold to Virginia, though one or both of their parents later escaped to freedom with assistance from Harriet Tubman and reached Philadelphia. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
