School Notes:
  • Glenelg Country School is an independent day school in Glenelg, Maryland. It was founded in 1954. It is a learning facility of grades pre-kindergarten to twelve.
  • What is today known as "Glenelg Manor" forms the nucleus of a sprawling structure, which houses the Glenelg Country School elementary division. The "Manor House" portion was itself built in two sections: the old "L" wing dating from the middle or late 1700s, and the newer front section built circa 1845. The original house is believed by many historians to have been erected by Ephraim Howard, son of Sarah Dorsey Howard who received the land from her father, John Dorsey, in 1735 as part of her dowry. Sarah's husband, Henry Howard, called the property "Howard's Resolution."
  • General Joseph Tyson, Assistant Postmaster General under President Tyler, added the newer part of the mansion, which is of Norman Tudor style, circa 1845. The massive granite blocks used as decoration in the addition were quarried near Ellicott City, while the marble at the entrance and in the fireplaces was imported from England. The spacious rooms were of such dimension that each had one or more fireplaces. General and Mrs. Tyson called their home "Glenelg" after an old estate in Scotland and "because it spelled the same from either end."
