The Bowie-Johnson House, also known as Gladacres, is located at 2302 Manor Gate Terrace in Upper
Marlboro, Maryland. Set on a high knoll, the two-story, five-bay building was built in 1854 on a tract of land
known as Thorpland. The Bowie-Johnson House is situated to the south of a circular gravel drive and is set
amongst mature trees and shrubs. The terraced yard slopes away from the house in all directions. The house is
surrounded by a modern sub-division, reduced to a 4.12-acre parcel from its original 190-acre proportions. A
garage is located to the northwest of the building with a dog kennel situated to the north. An outdoor barbeque
grill is situated to the south of the building.
DWELLING
The Bowie-Johnson House was constructed 1854 in the Greek Revival style. As noted in Benjamin B. McCeney
Jr.’s history of Thorpland, the two-story, five-bay dwelling is said to be built on the site of an earlier house that
was destroyed by fire.1 Set on a parged foundation, the wood-frame structure is clad in weatherboard siding. An
exterior-end chimney is constructed of stretcher-bond brick with a corbeled cap. Two flues rise out of the single
stack. The house has a side-gabled roof with overhanging eaves and cornice returns, and is covered in asphalt
shingles. Two-story, two-bay side-gabled additions flank the main block of the house. The additions are set on
solid concrete-block foundations. A two-story, five-bay porch addition is located on the façade (north
elevation). The house is fenestrated by 6/6 windows that feature large wood sills and smaller ogee-molded
wood lintels.
The façade (north elevation) features poured concrete steps that lead to an elevated, two-story, five-bay flat-
roofed porch addition with an ogee-molded cornice. The wood porch is supported by Tuscan columns with
engaged columns. The porch ceiling is clad in beaded board. Fenestration on the main block of the house
consists of 6/6 windows, four on the first story and five on the second story. A single-leaf, paneled wood door
with a blind fanlight is centrally located. The entry features 3-lights-over-paneled wood sidelights.
The south (rear) elevation is symmetrically balanced. Poured concrete steps lead up to a concrete stoop and a
single-leaf, paneled wood door with lights. Nine windows are located on the main block of the south (rear)
elevation, four on the first story and five on the second story.
The main block of the house is flanked by two-story, two-bay additions. Capped with side-gabled roofs covered
in asphalt shingles, the additions are lower than the main block of the house, but the roofs share the same pitch.
The east addition encapsulates the exterior-end chimney located on the main block of the house. The windows
have large wood sills and smaller ogee-molded wood lintels.
The east addition is narrower than the main block. The gable end features cornice returns and overhanging
eaves. A louvered attic vent is located in the gable end. This addition is fenestrated by 6/6 windows, four on the

façade (north elevation), four on the east (side) elevation, and four on the south (rear) elevation. The south
(rear) elevation features concrete steps leading to a centrally located single-leaf, multiple-light wood door.
The west addition is narrower than the main block. The gable end features cornice returns and overhanging
eaves. A louvered attic vent is located in the gable end. The west (side) elevation is fenestrated by a single-light
fixed metal-sash window on the first story and a 6/6 window placed on the second story. The south (rear)
elevation features a front-gabled portico covering an entrance. The one-story, one-bay portico is supported by
wood posts and covered with asphalt shingles. The entry has a single-leaf door with panels.
The interior of the dwelling was not accessible at the time of the 2007 on-site survey.
GARAGE
A one-story, four-bay garage is located to the northwest of the dwelling. Based on its materials and form, it
appears the garage was constructed c. 2000. It is clad in vinyl siding and has a side-gable roof covered in
asphalt shingles. Fenestration consists of a 6/6 window located on the north (side) and south (side) elevations. A
single-leaf, paneled wood door is set to the left of three, metal roll-up garage doors on the façade (east
elevation).
The interior of the garage was not accessible at the time of the 2007 on-site survey.
BARBEQUE
An outdoor barbeque is situated south of the dwelling, on the east side of the terraced rear yard. Based on its
form and materials, the barbeque appears to have been constructed c. 1950. The masonry chimney is of
stretcher-bond brick construction. The chimney is flanked by semi-circular, painted concrete counters, set on
stretcher-bond brick foundations, which have also been painted, extending to the north and south. The open-
grate chimney has a tapered concrete cap.
DOG KENNEL
A dog kennel is situated northwest of the dwelling, directly north of the garage. Based on its form and materials,
the dog kennel appears to have been constructed c. 1990. The wood-frame structure is clad in plywood. The
shed roof is covered in asphalt shingles. An opening is located on the façade (east elevation) of the structure.
The opening has a plain wood surround. A chain-link fence forms a small rectangle around the kennel.

INTEGRITY
The Bowie-Johnson House retains a low level of integrity. It does however remain a prominent local landmark
based on its high level of workmanship and materials. The rural property, although set amongst mature trees
and shrubs, is surrounded by a modern subdivision of large single-family houses that severely diminish its
integrity of feeling, location, setting, and association. Major alterations and additions have taken place, which
compromise the dwelling’s integrity of design.
The outdoor barbeque associated with the Bowie-Johnson House retains a moderate level of integrity. Located
in the backyard, this structure retains its integrity of location, feeling, setting, and association. The structure’s
integrity of materials, design, and workmanship were compromised at the time of the 2007 on-site survey due to
the loss and deterioration of brick and concrete.
The garage and dog kennel are non-contributing resources based on their recent construction dates.
The Bowie-Johnson House and associated resources retain a low level of integrity, and therefore, is unable to
convey its significance as a mid-nineteenth-century Greek Revival-style plantation house.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The Bowie-Johnson House was constructed in 1854, north of the town of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. It stands
on a tract called Thorpland, which had been the property of the Bowie family from early in the eighteenth
century. The main block of the house was built for Sarah Maria Bowie, widow of Charles Bowie, who had lived
in an earlier house at Thorpland.2 The house was also the occasional home of the McCeney family from 1889 to
1951 and the residence of United States Representative Calvin Johnson from 1951 to 1981. Johnson was
responsible for a majority of the numerous alterations and additions to the dwelling. Due to the alterations and
additions, the dwelling does not retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance as a mid-nineteenth-century
Greek Revival-style dwelling.
HISTORIC CONTEXT
The Bowie-Johnson House is located north of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Located in central Prince George’s
County, the Town of Upper Marlboro was established when the General Assembly of the Province of Maryland
passed the “Act for the Advancement of Trade and Erecting Ports and Towns” in 1706 and 1707 in order to
establish commercial centers in Maryland.3 The town was already a gathering place for merchants, who often
spent their time at Robert Robertson’s tavern, established in 1703.4 The community was first known as the
Town of Marlborough, but was soon changed to Upper Marlborough, distinguishing it from (Lower)
Marlborough in Calvert County. In the early twentieth century, the name was commonly shortened from
Marlborough to Marlboro’ then finally to Marlboro, as it is known today.

By 1718, county residents petitioned to have the county seat moved from Charles Town to Upper Marlboro,
which was completed in 1721.5 Chosen for its location on the Western Branch of the Patuxent River, the area
was thought to be a convenient trading location. With its designation as the county seat, Upper Marlboro soon
became the social, political, and commercial center of Prince George’s County.
Built in 1854 for Sarah Maria Bowie, widow of Charles Bowie, the Bowie-Johnson House is situated on a 190-
acre parcel of the Thorpland tract. The Thorpland tract had been the property of the Bowie family from early in
the eighteenth century.6 The house replaced the earlier Bowie-family dwelling that had been destroyed by fire.
7
Subsequent owners have built additions to the west and east (side) elevations of the dwelling. The full-height
porch on the façade (north elevation) is not original to the dwelling. Oral tradition indicates the house was built
in 1854 by a carpenter named Sherwood for Sarah M. Bowie.8
At the time of the 1850 U.S. Federal census slave schedule, Sarah M. Bowie is listed as owning 52 slaves,
ranging from a newborn to a seventy year old.9 Charles Bowie and Sarah Maria Bowie had three children, John
William Bowie, Eliza Combs Bowie, and Thomas Ray Bowie. The property first appears on the 1861 Martenet
Map of Prince George’s County, listing Charles Bowie as the owner. 10
The 1878 Hopkins Map of Prince
George’s County corroborates this, showing Charles Bowie owning the property.11
In 1874, the 190-acre
property was given to the couple’s eldest son, John William Bowie.
John William Bowie lived at the house until 1889 when he conveyed the property to Edgar P. McCeney.12
Edgar P. McCeney married John William Bowie’s sister Eliza Combs Bowie. At the time of the 1880 U.S.
census, Edgar P. McCeney is listed as a farmer.13
McCeney and his wife Eliza Combs had two sons, Edgar S.
McCeney and George P. McCeney. In 1906, Eliza Combs McCeney conveyed the property to her two sons.14

is not known which of the two sons occupied the house or if they shared the property. Eliza Combs McCeney is
listed as living at the same residence as her son Edgar S. McCeney in 1910.15
At the time of the 1910 U.S. Federal Census, George P. McCeney has a wife, Margaret S. McCeney, and is
listed as a general practice lawyer.16
The couple has two sons listed at the time of the census, George B. and
Robert S. McCeney.17
Edgar S. McCeney is listed in the 1910 U.S. Federal census as a bookkeeper at a bank.18
On his World War I
registration card McCeney is listed as being 44 years of age and a self-employed farmer.19
McCeney was
married to Emily L. McCeney. The couple had two sons at the time of the 1910 U.S. Federal census, Edgar S.
and Benjamin.20
The two brothers, Edgar S. McCeney and George P. McCeney, conveyed the property in 1910 to P. Bennett
Ford and R. Bennett Darnall.21
Darnall was a general practice lawyer during the early twentieth century.22
It is
not known who lived, if anyone, at the Bowie-Johnson House while in the procession of Ford and Darnall.
Darnall and his wife Mary Wise Ford conveyed their interest in the property to R. Bennett Darnall in 1913.23
The same year Darnall and Frances H. Darnall conveyed the property to Mark Jackson.24
Mark Jackson and Bertha M. Mather conveyed the property to Rachel Weems in 1915.25
Weems sold the
property to George P. McCeney in 1926.26
This marked the second time George P. McCeney and his wife

Margaret S. McCeney owned the Bowie-Johnson House.
The property, minus the cemetery, was conveyed to the McCeney’s son, George Bowie McCeney in 1939.27
The cemetery, historically associated with the Bowie-Johnson House, is situated to the southeast of the
dwelling, across the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad Pope’s Creek Branch tracks. The majority
of the headstones are Bowie family members, including Sara Maria Bowie, for whom the Bowie-Johnson
House is named. Currently the cemetery is located on a separate parcel of land from the Bowie-Johnson House,
and is under different ownership.
He later conveyed the property to his cousin Benjamin Bird McCeney and his wife Marian White McCeney.28
The property was sold out of the McCeney family in 1951 when the property was conveyed to family friend and
U.S. Congressman, Calvin D. Johnson and his wife Gladys McConnell Johnson.
Calvin D. Johnson started his political career in his home state of Illinois. It was there that he served as an
Illinois State Representative from 1935 to 1941.29
Congressman Johnson served the 22nd
District of Illinois from
1943 to 1945 in the 78th
Congress. He failed to win re-election to the 79th
Congress and fell out of the political
realm. From 1952 to 1968 Calvin D. Johnson later served as executive assistant to the vice president of
Remington-Rand, Inc., a prominent firearms company.30
It is during Calvin D. Johnson’s tenure as owner of the
Bowie-Johnson House that many changes occurred. By the time Mr. Johnson bought the property all chimneys
and the nine fireplaces had been completely removed.31
An article on the sale of the estate notes that Calvin D. Johnson renamed the Bowie-Johnson House to
“Gladacres”, in honor of his wife Gladys.32
Johnson also made major alterations to both the exterior and interior
of the dwelling. He replaced the old west (side) kitchen addition with a new addition, built the balancing
addition on the east (side) elevation, and the full-height portico on the façade of the dwelling. At the same time
the dwelling was being altered, the terraces were regraded.33
