Glenview Mansion & Gardens- Rockville, MD

Originally a humble 1838 two story farm house on 500 acres, Glenview was transformed in 1923 by Lochie and Porter into today’s magnificent Neo-Classical mansion. Commissioned by James and Irene Lyon, they used the country estate for entertaining. In 1954, the mansion and 28 acres were sold to the Montgomery Country Historical Society for use as a civic center. Although the interior has been reconfigured, the garden remains largely intact. With fabulous stonework, lush landscaping and a central fountain, it’s a peaceful retreat from the outside world.
