Member records for deceased architects are now accessible through the AIA Historical Directory of American Architects, an online resource guide launched in January 2010. Best examples of recent FAIA submissions are available online. Photographs and artifacts also form part of the archival collection. Selected out-of-print AIA publications are available digitally online through the Architect’s Knowledge Resource.</text>

Our sites interpret over 250 years – from Bowie’s 18th century days as “Collington Hundred,” through the bustling railroad development of the 19th century in Huntington, to the 20th and 21st century with the development of Belair-at-Bowie and the continued growth of the community today.</text>

Built circa 1745 for Provincial Governor Samuel Ogle and his wife, Anne Tasker Ogle, the Mansion later became one of the homes of William Woodward, noted American horseman of the 20th century. Enlarged by Woodward in 1914, the Mansion today reflects its 250-year use as a residence. Currently, the Mansion interprets the lives of residents from 1747 to 1950. Today, the Mansion interprets the lives of residents from 1747-1950. The museum collection contains a wide array of objects, including: a magnificent Colonial Revival card table owned by William Woodward; a table made by Annapolis craftsman John Shaw; an 18th century portrait of Col. Benjamin Tasker by artist John Wollaston; Ogle Family silver; Paintings of “The Seasons,” given to Samuel Ogle by Maryland’s Proprietor, Lord Baltimore; Woodward’s privately issued prints of a number of Belair Stud’s famous Thoroughbred racehorses.</text>

Belair was home to Gallant Fox (1930) and Omaha (1935) – the only father/son horses to capture Thoroughbred racing’s famous Triple Crown Series. In 1955, Belair’s Nashua, an incomparable champion, was Horse of the Year. Other champions, including Johnstown, Fighting Fox, and Vagrancy also called Belair home. Today’s Stable Museum highlights the accomplishments of Belair’s bloodstock over a 200-year racing legacy. It also features Belair’s other agricultural uses and contains a restored 1923 Stablemaster’s living quarters.</text>

              <text>&lt;a href="http://www.cityofbowie.org/index.aspx?NID=293"&gt;Bowie Railroad Museum:&lt;/a&gt; Plans for a railroad from Baltimore into Southern Maryland began to develop after the Civil War. In 1872, the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad opened the Bowie Station. Developer Ben M. Plumb seized that opportunity and developed “Huntington City” around that railroad station. Shops, hotels, and comfortable Victorian houses filled the tree-lined streets of Huntington City, renamed “Bowie” in 1880 to honor Governor Oden Bowie, who was instrumental in bring the railroad here. The station remained a busy stop until 1989, when it closed to make way for a new station at Bowie State University. The City of Bowie, in recognition of the station’s important role in its history, restored the buildings in the early 1990’s.</text>

              <text>The Library contains well about 1,000 books and manuals. The library also has several hundred additional vintage magazines and other periodicals and an assortment of railroad timetables. The library contains mostly an assortment of materials on U.S. Railroads and dates from the late 1880's to present. Currently the library has a broad focus on railroading history because of the nature of the materials we have obtained. Over time the focus of the library is expected to become increasingly that of the Washington, D.C. region, surrounding areas, and railroads that historically served or still serve these areas.</text>

              <text>The Chevy Chase Historical Society has collected historical material relevant to Chevy Chase, one of the earliest streetcar suburbs in the US, for more than 30 years. It is also one of the few planned residential communities in the nation in which the original developer, the Chevy Chase Land Company, has maintained a presence for more than 120 years. The Land Company donated maps, photographs, and documents from the early period when its founder, Francis G. Newlands, began assembling land for the new suburb and laying out its picturesque street. Most of the collection date from the early 1890s, but it also have some materials relating to the earlier agricultural settlement.</text>
