The Ammendale Normal Institute is a U.S. historic location in Beltsville, Maryland. Bought in 1880, it was a school and novitiate operated by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The Ammendale area is named after the previous owner, Daniel Ammen.〔 Construction of the main building began in 1883 and was completed in 1884 with Thomas C. Kennedy as the leading architect.〔 ==Religious Use== Also known as "Christian Brothers" and "Ammen Institute," the building had seen several uses over its lifetime. Though it last served as a sort of "retirement home" for aging or retired Brothers; in recent history, it was also used as an active monastery.〔 Peter Boyle is a notable alumni of what has been described as the monastery's 'boot-camp'. The main building suffered a devastating fire in April, 1998.〔 Its ruins stood until late 2006 when what was left of the building was demolished. Ammendale was one of many historical buildings in the region with valuable real estate that was developed after a fire set to the structure, including Troy Hill (1990), Avondale Mill (1991), St. Mary's College (1997), Henryton State Hospital (2007), (2011) In 2014, NAI Michael placed 8 acres containing the foundation of the Normal institute and the remaining Historic brick barn up for sale.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://looplink.naimichael.com/xNet/Looplink/Profile/Profile.aspx?stid=naimichael&LID=18237045&LL=true&PinProfile=true&UOMListing=&UOMMoneyCurrency=&RentPer=PY&SRID=4625857937 )〕 The nearby St. Joseph's Catholic Chapel is a recognized historic site.
