This report summarizes the findings of an historical/ architectural survey of Brentwood, requested by the Mayor and Council of the Town. The goals of the project were to document the earliest of the historic buildings still standing in the Town, and to prepare a written history of the community’s development with emphasis on the early residents. The Town of Brentwood is located in Prince George’s County, just outside the northeast boundary of the District of Columbia. Development of the community began in the 1890s in areas platted by the Holladay and Brentwood Companies. The first residents were families attracted to the area by the easily accessible transportation to and from work in Washington, D. c., offered by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the City and Suburban streetcar line. The residents of this community incorporated in 1922 as the Town of Brentwood. The report is divided into seven major sections: Pre-Subdivision History, The First Subdivision, The Second Subdivision, Growth and Development of the two Subdivisions, Continued Development, The Development of Community Institutions, and the Period of Incorporation. The report includes background history on the earliest development of the community, and on Captain Wallace A. Bartlett, the principal figure in the development of the first two subdivisions. It describes the expansion of the original subdivision, and the settling of the first families in the newly built homes. It describes and compares the first dwellings erected in the community; it analyzes by building type a representative group of dwellings which survive from the first building period. The report also outlines the establishment of community institutions such as school, church, citizens’ association and firemen’s organization, and describes the community’s development as it approached incorporation in 1922. The report is supplemented by photographs, plats and maps.

This study concerns revitalization of an older community in southern Prince George’s County, located between rapidly developing areas adjacent to MD 5/US 301, and the county’s designated Rural Tier. The Brandywine Revitalization and Preservation study area straddles both the Subregion 5 and Subregion 6 master plans, approved in 2009, and responds to recommendations in those plans that a planning study focus on revitalization in this community. While this older Brandywine community has attributes of a small town and a cluster of historic resources, it lacks other characteristics that would distinguish it as such. The threat is that without a definition of the desired community character and strategies for achieving it, new development, when it arrives in old Brandywine, will subsume it into the suburban fabric of the greater community. The strategies and illustrations in this study are intended to be used as an action plan for community stakeholders to improve the look and function of the public realm, focusing on improving the Brandywine Road streetscape, pedestrian circulation and safety.
