This Week’s Find is the Greene Residence, a six-property home constructed in 1992 on a five-acre site on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The location was originally a 17th-century town that had long been abandoned.

That colonial influence is apparent in the design of the Hugh Newell Jacobsen home, which is a multi-wing house comprised of six attached cabin-like squares, including a two-car garage.
