3333 Flickinger Road, Silver Run, Maryland

The Christopher Erb House is a stone house finished in 1799. It stands in Silver Run under a Westminster, MD zip code (21158). It is on a 38-acre (15 ha) property, split in two, and borders on Big Pipe Creek. The house has experienced two small fires, multiple hits from Black Locust trees in Hurricane Isabel, and detrimental building practices inside and outside the stone walls. The house is historically significant as an example of Pennsylvania German architecture and it reflects the influence of Pennsylvania Germans in Carroll County.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
