The Graham-Hughes House is a Châteauesque residence in the Mount Vernon Place Historic District of Baltimore, Maryland. The house was designed by Baltimore architect George Archer and completed in 1888. It had been attributed to architect Charles E. Cassell and mistakenly thought to have been built in 1895 until discovery of an article in the March 12, 1888, edition of the Baltimore Sun crediting Archer as the architect and Baltimore jail warden John Waters as the builder.[1][2]
