Goodwood, once known as Mont Albion or Mont Albon, is a 2-story historic home located at Upper Marlboro, Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. The plantation had 1,200 acres under cultivation at its height, and 72 enslaved people. The house was built in 1799 by George Calvert (1768–1838) for his daughter, Rosalie Eugenia Calvert. In 1830, Rosalie married Charles Henry Carter. The couple renamed the house Goodwood after a manor house in Sussex. The Carters expanded the original Federal style structure, and built two additions in the Greek Revival style. Carter, who came from the Shirley Plantation, was a nephew of Robert E. Lee. General Lee visited frequently, and described visiting Goodwood in May 1859. The Carters had six children. Their daughter Alice married Maryland Governor Oden Bowie (1826-1894). The additions burned in 1934. The remaining house is a rural brick villa with a hip roof. The house remained in the family until 1988.

Mount Pleasant (Upper Marlboro, Maryland)
Mount Pleasant (Upper Marlboro, Maryland)

Mount Pleasant is 2+1⁄2-story brick structure with a gambrel roof and is about two-thirds its original length. It is located near Upper Marlboro in Prince George's County, Maryland. Mount Pleasant was patented in 1697 to Richard Marsham, whose wife Anne was the daughter of Leonard Calvert, Governor of Maryland. Their grandson, Marsham Waring, inherited the home from his grandfather in 1713. His son, Richard Marsham Waring had a son, Richard Marsham Jr., born in 1733, who then inherited Mount Pleasant and Patented and Certified the tract of land dubbed "Mount Pleasant Enlarged" in 1760. On August 21, 1764, Richard Marsham Jr. sold the 451+3⁄4 acre tract of land to his brother John for £474.6s.9d. John later built the standing house in the years between 1764 and 1785 (conflicting dates). John died in 1813 and was buried at Mount Pleasant.Mount Pleasant is an example of an almost distinctively Maryland style of house—the English gambrel roof dwelling in brick, with the steep gambrel which has dormers almost flush with the second pitch of the roof. This house is significant primarily for its architecture and as a representative example of a more modest type of mid-Georgian dwelling than others in Maryland such as Montpelier, and probably a closer reflection of the architectural ancestry than the Palladian country house. As a more modest dwelling Mount Pleasant is an unusual survivor.Thomas Fielder Bowie is interred in the Waring family burial ground on this site.
