Gladden Farm, also known as Gladden-Roming Stone House, is a historic home and farm complex located at Street, Harford County, Maryland. It contains three historically significant structures: a large five-bay rubblestone bank house with Federal detailing, a one-story rubblestone spring house, and a one-story board-and-batten frame shop. The first two structures probably date to about 1820, the latter from the mid 19th century. Some interior details were installed about 1945 from a demolished house on Franklin Street in Baltimore, including a mantel and built-in cabinets and bookcases and the main room's north wall is paneled in English oak removed from another demolished Baltimore dwelling. The home is named for the locally prominent Gladden family, who were leading and innovative farmers, who saw to it that the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad was built through this party of the county, and established a station stop near their farm at The Rocks.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
