Visitors will also be able to buy the furniture and accessories selected by the designers.

A historic home in Ellicott City has been designated as the 34th Decorator Show House by the Historic Ellicott City organization. The 9,500-square-foot home is called "Oakdale" and was formally the home of Maryland Governor Edwin Warfield.

Each room in the mansion was redecorated by a team of 17 local designers. From now through June 5, the public is invited to tour the home and get a glimpse of Maryland history.

Tickets for the tour start at $30 and are available online and at select Ellicott City merchants. Money raised during the showcase tours will be used to support and restore historic properties in Ellicott City and greater Howard County.

The original part of the home was built in 1838 and was expanded to 22 rooms by Edwin Warfield in 1891. He lived in the home when he became Governor of Maryland in 1904, and it remained in the hands of the family until the early 1970s. The new owner completed a restoration of the property before selling it in 1980.

The mansion is open for tours Thursday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

There is a cafe on site that sells sandwiches, drinks and desserts along with a designer boutique. Most of the furniture and accessories inside the house are available for purchase and can be collected when the show ends.
