Brooklandwood – Site Of The Saint Paul’s School That Is On Land Originally Owned By Maryland’s First U.S. Senator

In 1798, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the first United States Senator to represent the state of Maryland, built the area known as Brooklandwood.

Charles Carroll was known as a “First Citizen” who opposed Daniel Dulaney Junior’s “Fee Bill”.

In 1952, the land within Brooklandwood was used to build Saint Paul’s School. The Maryland Historical Trust and the Maryland State Highway Administration established a historical marker dedicated to Brooklandwood at the front entrance to Saint Paul’s School.
