AAA members in previous years have enjoyed visiting Bellevue, which is an historic plantation house located at 200 Manning Road East, in Accokeek. Host Gene Mirus will provide a tour of the house and grounds. Members also will have an opportunity to share artwork and socialize. We’ll meet from 2-4 pm. Snacks and beverages will be provided. More information to come.
This Greek Revival style home was constructed in about 1840. It is one of only three surviving examples in Prince George's County of the once-popular Tidewater house style, typical of successful small plantations of that period. Bellevue is in excellent condition, and retains its freestanding chimneys with brick pent, as well as a roughly contemporary kitchen wing. The house stands on a five-acre, partially wooded lot which exemplifies its original plantation setting. Bellevue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
