The house and land were named for Major John Billingsley, the original 1662 land grant owner. Even though Major Billingsley never lived on the property and there have been 27 title adjustments over the site's long history, the name "Billingsley" remains. The present house was built around 1740 by the prominent Weems family on, or very near, the site of an older 1695 house built by Colonel Thomas Hollyday, first Chief Justice of the Prince George's County Court. Billingsley has been substantially altered and modernized both in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, yet it is still one of the oldest structures remaining in the County and a unique example of a brick plantation house. As such, it is of great historical and architectural importance and features rooms furnished in period decor.

It provides research support for the Botany Department and the large number of botanists world-wide who use the collections and resources. The Horticulture Branch Library was established in 1984 as a research support resource for the Horticulture Services Division, which is responsible for the management of the gardens, grounds, greenhouses, and interior plantscaping at the Smithsonian Institution. The Library evolved from a small office collection that was begun in the early 1970s. Since that time, this collection has been enhanced by the donation of several large gifts. An acquisition in 1984 of more than 150 American titles on landscape design dating from the 19th- and early 20th-centuries has become the foundation of a growing collection the subject. The Botany Branch Library houses around 50,000 volumes, including both books and journals, supporting the major interests of the Botany Department. Emphasis is on all aspects of plant systematics, including palynology, molecular evolution, classification, identification, nomenclature, cladistics, floristics, and endangered and threatened species. Other related subjects are botanical history, especially of North and South America, ethnobotany, plant exploration, and botanical illustration. Geographical coverage is world-wide, with a special emphasis on the neotropics. The Horticulture Library houses more than 5,000 books, 2,700 volumes of periodicals, 10,000 trade catalogs, 40 running feet of subject files, and a growing collection of videotapes. The branch collects materials in historical and practical horticulture, garden history, and landscape design in America and its influences.
