Date of construction

Anyone catch this :

"It was built in 1790 by Charles Ridgely III ... "

and this :

"The National Register listing shows it having been built in 1849, but it also says that Rebecca Dorsey Ridgely, wife of Charles Ridgely III, lived there from 1791 to 1812.." ?

There is an obvious contradiction here or at least some sort of ambiguity that needs to be fixed.. northeast of the present location there is a substantial foundation where I am almost positive the original structure was located and at some point burned to the ground...also the university has been pretty big on at times letting everyone know George Washington stayed there once or twice but it had to have been in the original home which was supposedly an inn at the time. 24.181.218.91 (talk) 00:41, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
