Bellefields, Georgian mansion in Prince George's County, Maryland, US
The brick structure features Flemish bond construction with random glazed headers, two stories over a high basement, and paired interior end chimneys.
Built around 1720, Bellefields housed Scottish immigrant Patrick Sim and his son Colonel Joseph Sim, who became a Maryland patriot during colonial times.
The symmetrical design with central entrance and raised belt course above the first floor represents the architectural principles of Georgian residential buildings.
The Library of Congress maintains photographs and documentation of Bellefields through the Historic American Buildings Survey, available for research purposes.
In 2021, three zebras escaped from the Bellefields property into the woods of Upper Marlboro, leading to a months-long pursuit and animal cruelty charges.
