Glenview Farm, Historic farm estate in Rockville, Maryland.
The two-story mansion spans 25,000 square feet with over 30 rooms and features neoclassical architecture overlooking Croydon Creek valley.
In 1838, Judge Richard Bowie and his wife Catherine constructed the initial house on their 500-acre plantation, which utilized enslaved labor for farming operations.
The property transformed from a working plantation into a sophisticated country estate in 1923 when the Lyon family added formal gardens for social gatherings.
The City of Rockville operates Glenview Mansion as a civic center, hosting more than 1,200 community events and welcoming over 100,000 visitors annually.
The estate includes a separate cottage built in 1938 specifically for Betsy Lyon, the daughter of James and Irene Lyon, who owned the property.
