The property resided on the "Robinhood's Forest" land patent. The manor built by Richard Snowden Jr. was brick construction with shingle siding. A central hall was surrounded by fireplaces. A semicircle of barns held tobacco crops. A boxwood garden led to the cemetery. By 1790 the estate composed 10,000 acres.[1] During William Snowden's ownership, the house burned on 20 August 1891.[2] The fire broke open a hidden wood panel above a mantle that contained hidden family parchments just before they burned.[3] A large tract of the estate became the Fort George G. Meade and the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center The Baltimore Washington Parkway was built over the plantation site next to a general aviation airport. The family cemetery remains mostly inaccessible.[4][5] See also
