You may not have heard of Brandywine, a historic city in Prince George's County, unless you're a history buff. No, this is not where the Revolutionary War-era Battle of Brandywine took place, but it is known for its architecture, which dates from the seventeenth century all the way to the Victorian era. It is possible to take a "walk through history" in Brandywine, simply by taking a look at the many historical buildings in the area. While finding homes for sale in Brandywine, MD, you'll be immersed in the centuries of rich history in this community.
Here are three buildings that you won't want to miss. The first is St. Paul's Parish Church, from the seventeenth century, which reminds residents of their roots as a devout colonial farming town. The second is the William W. Early House, an example of Queen Anne Victorian at its finest. And the third "must-see" is the Chapel of the Incarnation, a twentieth-century interpretation of the Spanish Mission style, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places itself.
