Pfefferkorn House and Granary

Pfefferkorn House and Granary, or Lichendale is a historic slave plantation house located in West Friendship, Maryland near Glenelg, Maryland in Howard County, Maryland, United States. The Lichendale farm is 450 acres combined from the 1837 Walter Brown, 1848 Gerald Hobbs and 1855 Thomas Jenkins farms. The Lichendale mansion was built on the site in 1872 for the Shipley Family. 450 acres of land from "Hobbs Rest", "Poverty Discovered", and "Cumberland" were purchased by Laura Shipley, wife of the late Ethelbert E. Shipley from 1871-1872. The estate was inherited by her daughter Ethel and her husband Milfin Hood who sold the property after the deaths of their two daughters Betty and Carol in 1931. The estate was purchased by the Pfefferkorn family.The Lichendale mansion burned in 1946. A wooden granary built between 1841 and 1868 was relocated in 1972 onto the Northern foundation and clad in grapevine seam brick. The Pfefferkorn house is a five bay wide, two story tall brick structure on a fieldstone foundation.Outbuildings on the site include an 1873 Victorian playhouse, smokehouse, shed and four gable barn. The house and estate are on a 51-acre remainder parcel. The farms of state Senator Robert H. Kittleman inherited by county executive Allan Kittleman, and former county executive Norman E. Moxley's son's estate "Popular Springs Garden Invasion" reside on subdivisions of the original farm, sheltered by the Pfefferkorn Natural Resource Area owned by Howard County.

Glenwood, Howard County, Maryland

Glenwood is an unincorporated community in Howard County, Maryland, United States. It is located between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., therefore attracting commuters to those employment centers. The community features acres of open space and is districted to Bushy Park Elementary, Glenwood and Folly Quarter Middle, and Glenelg High schools. Union Chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and Round About Hills was added in 2008. The population in 2020 was approximately 3,416.The area was settled in the early 18th century by the Ridgley and Warfield families forming large tobacco plantations: "Bushy Park", "Longwood", "Ellerslie" and others. In 1822, James B. Matthews purchased a 200-acre farm and stone home from Caleb Dorsey. He opened a post office on July 30, 1841, giving the area the name "Matthews Store" in the Howard District of Anne Arundel County, which operated until January 1874. The Union Chapel was built in 1833. The Howard District of Anne Arundel county became the newly formed Howard County. Despite southern sympathies, the Civil War ended slave labor on the local farms. The Phrenakosmian Hall was opened, renamed to the Howard Institute serving 25 children. On January 13, 1874, the Glenwood postal stop opened. It was renamed to Glenwood by James Matthew's son, Professor Lycurgus Matthews.In 1995, Glenwood land developer Randolph Ayersman made national news after police found that profits from drug sales were being used to buy and develop properties under A&A contracting in Glenwood.

Glenwood Middle School

Glenwood Middle School is located in the western portion of Howard County, Maryland. It is built on land settled in the early 18th century by the Ridgley and Warfield families forming large slave plantations such as "Bushy Park", "Longwood", "Ellerslie" and others. The design was put together by Lorenz Murray the firm of Johannes and Murray. The plans included an air-conditioned combined "cafetorium" and library. An even more aggressive consolidation of cafeteria, auditorium and gymnasium "Cafetorianasium" was also proposed. The School Board insisted on deciding the color of the brick. In March 1966, the board asked the County Commissioners to sell bonds to fund $1,270,000 for a new middle school and to purchase school sites for the new Rouse development of Columbia. On June 28, 1966 the company of Charles. J. Cirelli, Inc. won the bid to build the school for $1,159,000. The Contract was approved in the same session where Robert H. Kittleman was protesting school board actions against teachers as a representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Cirelli built several schools for Howard County and was the employer of Maryland Governor Marvin Mandel after his pardon from mail fraud and racketeering charges. Dr. DiVirgilio recommended additional changes in the design totaling $11,239.69 before completion and J. Norman Otto Co., Inc won the $19,783.00 bid on cafeteria furniture. Water was supplied by two wells and a new requirement for sprinkler systems added another $53,000 to the cost. Ba-Mor supplied carpeting. Cost overruns started with the removal of additional unexpected rock. Jack Kussmau was selected as the first principal and Donald Bell as vice principal in 1967.By 1996, parents petitioned the school board about lack of maintenance and exclusion from capital budgets for upgrades. Parents listed problems with water on gym floors and in walls, overcrowding and ventilation issues. In 2000, students staged a sit-in to protest the dismissal of a teacher.In winter of 2016, the school was closed for a week and relocated at Bushy Park Elementary School, Dayton Oaks Elementary School, and Marriotts Ridge High School due an underground powerline short that caused a fire. In addition, from 2014 to 2016, Glenwood Middle School was a center of controversy due to a mold problem found in the portable classrooms.
