The Thomas Isaac Log Cabin is currently the headquarters of the Ellicott City Consortium. Built circa 1780 from wood and mortar, the log cabin was one of the Isaac family’s three residences, and was originally located on Merryman Street. However, after a flood, the Isaac’s moved their residence higher up the road to the top of a hill and out of the flood plane to protect themselves from future catastrophies. After they moved, the Isaac’s loaned the cabin to the African American community. The cabin has recently been restored to its 19th century appearance.
