It’s been a while since I visted a historic home. So the other day on the way home from work I decided I’d knock one out. This is Montpelier, in Prince George’s County. It was built by Major General Thomas Snowden (as in the river parkway) and his wife Ann Ridgely (as in the middle school). It is considered one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture in the state. Situated at a high elevation the house itself is supposed to offer great views. I couldn’t go in since it was dusk and tours were not being offered at that time. So I took a picture of the house itself. The grounds surrounding the home are very well kept and are home to (big suprise) many deer who come out at nightfall. The mansion, like many of its breheren is kept in such good condition by the revenues it generates as a faciliy for parties/wedding/etc. There is also a relatively new arts center on the grounds.
