The Shaw Mansion is an Italianate style house in the George's Creek Valley of Allegany County, Maryland, built in 1872. The house is significant as an unusually large and well-preserved example of the style for its area, with stone trim, detailed brick bonding, cast-iron mantels and much of the original interior woodwork.
