Warfield's Range also known as Philla Terra and Dr. Thomas Chew Warfield's Homestead is a historic slave plantation home located between Laurel and Columbia Howard County, Maryland

On 26 March 1696, Richard and John Warfield surveyed a 1,080 acre land patent named "Warfield's Range" along with others that totalled 1,862 acres. A log cabin was built onsite during this time which survived until 2001. In 1703, Richard Warfiled granted 150 acres of Warfield's Range including the cabin to his daughter Rachel Warfield Yates. In 1765, 240 acres of the range were inherited by Benjamin Warfield's son Joshua Warfield. In 1845 Thomas Chew Worthington updated the log cabin interior with random width wood floors. [1]

After Peter Gorman completed his railroad contract, he purchased the 500 acre estate "Fairview" in North Laurel from Dr. Charles Griffith Worthington. The property was part of "Warfiled's Range", containing the 1696 log cabin that survived until an arson fire in 2001 when relocated to accommodate the "Warfield's Range" development.[2][3][4]
