Glenview Farm - Rockville, Maryland - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Glenview Farm is a historical property has changed over the years but the one thing that has remained is the lack of development. Originally a farm owned by the Bowie family until 1904, it was bought and sold a few times until 1917 by Irene and William Smith. They hired architects Lochie and Porter to design a house that would turn the land into a country estate for the use of entertainment. Today it is owned by the City of Rockville, the mansion is rented out for events, the garden is still maintained (though not at the level it once was), a theater was added to the property, the surrounding woodland is part of the Croyden Creek Nature Center, and there are tennis courts and other mixed use spaces for visitors to enjoy.

"Mansion is a historic home and surrounding property located at Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland. The house is a 1926 Neo-Classical Revival style house on 65 acres (260,000 m2) of landscaped ground. The five-part mansion incorporates the remnants of the 1838 house called "Glenview." Since 1957, the house and grounds have been owned by the City of Rockville, and are used for various civic, cultural and social events, and is known as Rockville Civic Center Park. The house also includes the Glenview Mansion Art Gallery." - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenview_Mansion_(Rockville))
