BAE Systems Inc.

BAE Systems Inc. (formerly BAE Systems North America) is an American subsidiary of British defense, security, and aerospace company BAE Systems plc. The American subsidiary operates under a Special Security Agreement which allows it to work on some of the most sensitive United States defense programs despite its foreign ownership. It is incorporated in Delaware. It employs approximately 35,000 workers within U.S. borders and several thousand more in Israel, South Africa, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Major business lines of BAE Systems Inc. include electronic warfare, sensing and communications equipment; armored vehicles, artillery systems; naval guns and naval ship repair; and cybersecurity and intelligence services. With annual revenues of $11.4 billion, BAE Systems Inc. contributes over a third of the parent company's global revenues and is typically ranked among the Pentagon's Top-10 suppliers. It operates under a Special Security Agreement with a separate board of directors from the London-based parent to assure the protection of sensitive information concerning the U.S. programs in which it is engaged. Because it consists largely of legacy American enterprises, BAE Systems Inc. has more involvement in such programs than any other foreign-owned company. BAE Systems Inc. is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Arseneault, and is headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia. It maintains operating locations in 38 states, with especially large concentrations in the Northeastern and Southeastern regions of the U.S. The enterprise holds over 2,000 patents and is a dominant player in many of the markets it addresses. For example, it builds the electronic-warfare systems for the tri-service F-35 fighter; it produces all of the vehicles in U.S. Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Teams except the Abrams tank; and it is the biggest provider of ship repair services to the Navy.

Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine
Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine

Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine is a one-story mid-19th century wood-frame building displaying medical and pharmaceutical tools, furniture, and books from the 19th and early 20th centuries and managed by the Montgomery County Historical Society. It originally stood at Monroe Street and Montgomery Avenue in Rockville, Maryland as the office of Dr. Edward E. Stonestreet and was moved in 1972 to its current location next to the Beall-Dawson House. While Edward E. Stonestreet was completing his medical studies at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, his parents, Adelaide and Samuel T. Stonestreet, constructed an office for him in 1852 on the property of their residence in Rockville. He began his medical practice in this building in 1853 and continued to receive patients here until he died in 1903. In addition to practicing medicine, Stonestreet served on the Rockville City Council and served on the boards of the Medical Society of Montgomery County, Rockville Cemetery Association, Montgomery County Agricultural Society, and the Mutual Building Association of Montgomery County. His family was active in the Methodist Episcopal Church South in Rockville and his daughters dedicated the "Christ Knocking at the Door" stained glass window in his honor shortly after his death. In 1904, the Montgomery County School Board purchased the home of Dr. Stonestreet for the site of the new Montgomery County High School (now the location of Americana Apartments). The School Board demolished Stonestreet's house but retained his medical office as a museum and later as a laboratory for the high school. In 1920, the building became Rockville’s first public library and served in that capacity until 1936. After World War II, it was relocated to the Agricultural Fair Grounds, where the Rockville Volunteer Fire Department and the Boy Scouts used it for meetings. In 1972, the Volunteer Fire Department, the City of Rockville, and the Montgomery County Historical Society moved the structure to a site adjacent to the Beall–Dawson House, a historic house museum operated by the Historical Society. In 1973, it was officially dedicated as a museum focused on Dr. Stonestreet and the history of 19th-century medicine. Between 1994 and 1996, the structure was moved again within the Beall-Dawson property due to ground instability. In 2018, the exhibit was rededicated and formally named the “Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine.”
