Maryland Daily PhotoEvery Week Day a New Picture from MD

This is the Brooklandwood Planation house in Lutherville, Baltimore County.  It is best known as the mansion on the grounds on the St. Pauls school, but it could be known for any number of other things.  First, it sits on top of a large rolling hill and it commands quite an impressive view of north-west Baltimore.   Second, it is in remarkably good shape, due largely to the efforts of the school to maintain its signature buildings.   Finnally,  and most importantly is its historical significance, which I will offer to you as a quote from the historic marker placed by the school and the Maryland Historical Society, right outside the building.  It reads:  “Built by Charles Carroll of Carrollton for his daughter, Mary Caton.  Site of the first Maryland Hunt Cup and Grand National Races.  Owned succesively by John Cockey, Charles Carroll, George Brown, Captain Isaac Emerson and Saint Paul’s School (Established 1849).”
