Located just inside the Capital Beltway and south of Branch Avenue (MD 5), the St. Barnabas-Beech Road study area encompasses a strip commercial corridor and a small industrial center flanked by mid-to-late twentieth century residential and commercial development. As with many of the county’s post-World War II commercial areas, new investment has moved away from St. Barnabas Road to farther-out suburbs, leaving behind obsolete commercial buildings, older infrastructure, and a corridor designed primarily for automobiles. The Beech Road industrial area has fared somewhat better since its development in the 1950s, but the proximity of residential development and the southern barrier of Henson Creek and the Capital Beltway has limited the expansion of industrial uses. Many of the industrial area properties also contain older structures, and its public infrastructure shows signs of deterioration. Additionally, development standards of previous decades have created an area with minimal landscaping and screening of operations areas.

From October 1, 1986 through September 30, 1987, the Prince George’s County Historic Preservation staff conducted a field survey of Sears, Roebuck and Company mail-order houses in the County. The Sears, Roebuck mail-order house survey and a companion study of Victorian pattern book houses in Prince George’s County were comp orients of ongoing research projects of the Prince George’s County Historic Preservation Commission, implemented by the Planning Department of M-NCPPC with a matching grant from the Certified Local Government program of the Maryland Historical Trust. This survey of Sears mail-order houses was conducted with the advice and ongoing involvement of Raymond W. Bellamy, Jr., Cheverly Town Historian and Prince George’s County Historic Preservation Commissioner from September 1986 through January 1989. Mr. Bellamy became knowledgeable about Sears mail-order houses through his study of the 25 models constructed in the Town of Cheverly. His extensive research on those structures is incorporated into this report. I would like to acknowledge his help and thank him for his assistance on this project. Thanks also goes to the many Sears mail-order house owners who supplied information on their houses for this study, and to members of the Prince George’s County Historical Society who “found” and reported on Sears houses in the County for this study. The eighty-two Sears mail-order houses identified during this survey are not the total number of Sears houses standing in the County. More have been identified since this study’s completion. Identification and cataloging of Sears and other mail-order houses in the County will be an ongoing project of the Historic Preservation Commission. Some original drawings and text in this report are from Houses by Mail, by Katherine Cole Stevenson and H. Ward Jandl.

Endorsed Bowie-Mitchellville and Vicinity SMA 2023

The intent of this rural villages study is to better understand the impact of existing regulations for site development and road improvements on rural character as well as the future of alternative development strategies, the insertion of small-scale commercial or service needs in these communities, and conservation of the rural landscape. Changes to existing zoning, and other regulations that shape development, are not included in this study. This study provides additional impetus and recommendations for preservation and conservation strategies. It is focused on three communities in southeastern Prince George’s County-Baden, Aquasco, and Croom-and provides the basis for recommendations for incentives and regulations for enhancing and preserving the villages’ rural character. The three villages are located in the county’s Rural Tier with the exception of the northeastern portion of Croom that is located in the county’s Developing Tier.
