Moundland is a historic plantation home located between Simpsonville and Guilford, Howard County, Maryland, now part of the Columbia land development. The stone manor home Moundland was built by Thomas Stewart in 1846 for his daughter and her husband Charles Griffith Worthington Jr., who served in the first team of Howard County Commissioners. The English imported locks on the house are dated to 1830. The 22 inch thick walls were quarried onsite and the original floors remained intact. The house neighbored Granite Park manor home.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/015000/015600/015613/pdf/msa_se5_15613.pdf )〕 In 1966, 245 acres of property surrounding the 10 acre Moundland site were purchased by Howard Research and Development for the creation on the Rouse Company project Columbia. In 1970, nearby Trinity Episcopal and most of its land were sold by its pastor in 1970 to form the South Columbia Baptist Church in Guilford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/015000/015600/015613/pdf/msa_se5_15613.pdf )〕 The remainder of the Trinity Church property was converted to a waste transfer station, followed by a mulching facility, and later the Blue Stream Housing development. The pastor W Stephen Neel elected to demolish Moundland to build the new facility, "To serve our community as a church, rather than save an old building", and was granted permission to develop by the Howard County Board of Appeals. ==See Also== *List of Howard County properties in the Maryland Historical Trust *Trinity Church (Elkridge, Maryland) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moundland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
