It was built in 1810 as one of the first private schools in Montgomery County, Maryland. Now, fully restored, it serves as a unique community center suitable for meetings, social and cultural events. It is located in the Brookeville Historic District, which served as the "Capital for a Day" in 1814 when President Madison had to flee the White House during the British Invasion of the War of 1812.[1] The original buildingThe institution of the Brookville Academy was established in 1808 and was chartered in 1815.[2] Construction for the building began in 1810. The second story of the structure was added in 1840 when the Board of Trustees decided to expand the school. It was completed in 1858.[3] Notable studentsAmong those educated at the Academy, include Dr. Henry Howard, who established Howard County,[4] and William Edward Magruder, great-grandson of Colonel Zadok Magruder.[5] In 1869, the Brookeville Academy relocated to Merrywood, located on nearby farmland outside of town. Present dayIn 1868, the Brookeville Academy moved north to Merryville. After the move, the building had many uses. In the 1870s, the building served as Odd Fellows Hall. In the mid 1900s, it served as the American Legion Hall and also housed functions of Saint John's Church. The town of Brookeville purchased the house from the St. John's Church for its historical significance and began to renovate it for wider public use.[6] The Brookeville Academy now serves as a community center, hosting private functions including meetings, seminars, dinners, parties and weddings.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url = http://www.eventective.com/USA/Maryland/Brookeville/165488/Brookeville-Academy-Community-Center.html| title = Brookeville Academy Community Center| accessdate = 2010-04-16}} 2. ^{{cite web | url = http://townofbrookevillemd.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/walkingtour.pdf |title=Walking Tour: Town of Brookeville |accessdate=2010-04-17}} 3. ^{{cite web | url = http://townofbrookevillemd.org/acad_historyZg.html | title = The Brookeville Academy | author = Anne Marie Lemon | accessdate = 2010-04-18 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20110426183139/http://www.townofbrookevillemd.org/acad_historyZg.html | archivedate = 2011-04-26 | df = }} 4. ^{{cite journal |title=The Transactions of the American Medical Association |author=American Medical Association |year=1874 |pages=533}} 5. ^{{cite book |title=Year Book of the American Clan Gregor Society |publisher=American Clan Gregor Society |year=1912}} 6. ^{{cite web | url = http://townofbrookevillemd.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/walkingtour.pdf |title=Walking Tour: Town of Brookeville |accessdate=2010-04-17}} 7. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.townofbrookevillemd.org/acad_rentalinfo.html | title = Brookeville Academy Community Center Rental Information | accessdate = 2010-04-17 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20100918005731/http://www.townofbrookevillemd.org/acad_rentalinfo.html | archivedate = 2010-09-18 | df = }} External links
