Griggs House is a historic home located in Granite, Maryland. It is a two-story house constructed in the mid 19th century. The home is associated with the movie The Blair Witch Project.
The house is a federal style two-story stucco faced post and beam wood construction house on a stone foundation. It is two bays by three bays wide situated near the Smith/Sumwalt house and the Granite quarry which the town was renamed for. The house was visible on 1877 Baltimore County Atlas.
In 1984 the Department of Natural Resources conducted a historical survey of the Griggs property that resided on parkland of Patapsco Valley State Park. The property was not in use by this time and had interior details removed by vandals.[1]
In 1999 the house was used for the climactic ending of The Blair Witch Project. After filming, the State of Maryland announced it would demolish the historic home.[2] Funds were raised to save the home based on the success of the movie and the State released press announcements that the property would be spared. The house was demolished at a later date without an announcement.[3]
