Mount Ida was built by 1834/1836 by William Ellicott (1793-1838) son of Jonathon and grandson of Andrew one of the founders of Ellicott City. William was raised at his father's home beside his Uncle George Ellicott's stone home (which survided the flood that distroyed the Jonathon Ellicott stone home in 1972). His cousin Elizabeth Ellicott Lea, Maryland's first cookbook author (in 1845), was born the same year as William and lived next door (George was her father). Recipe at end.
