Bowieville, Federal style mansion in Prince George's County, US

The Bowieville residence features brick construction covered in stucco, with symmetrical design elements including elliptical fanlights and tripartite windows throughout the structure.

Mary Wooton Bowie, daughter of Maryland Governor Robert Bowie, constructed this plantation house between 1819 and 1820 on inherited land from her father.

The property reflects the wealth generated by tobacco farming in Maryland, with architectural elements transitioning between Federal and Greek Revival styles.

The National Register of Historic Places designation provides access to preservation resources and support for maintaining the architectural features of the mansion.

The plantation records indicate that 54 enslaved individuals lived at Bowieville, documenting the labor structure of early 19th century Maryland agriculture.
