UMD and Bladensburg Collaborate to Preserve Historic 1746 Mansion
Written by The Town of Bladensburg   
ImageCollege Park, Md. - University of Maryland historic preservation experts and students will work at one of the oldest houses in Prince George's County - "Bostwick," a Bladensburg mansion built in 1746 by a prominent merchant.

Bostwick is one of only four remaining pre-Revolutionary War buildings in Bladensburg. The building is on the National Registry of Historic Places and is owned by the Town. It also served as the residence for the first U.S. Secretary of the Navy.

Under this new agreement, Bladensburg will give the University's Historic Preservation Program full access to the mansion, its outbuildings and the seven-acre property. The program is part of the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.

University faculty and students will conduct a preservation feasibility study, assessing water issues, foundation movement, plaster damage, landscaping and other issues.
