|SELLHISTORIC
| COLONIAL HOME
Bonaparte Estate IN Upper
Maryland Bought BY
Baltimorean.

Baltimore. Feb. ls-''Montrose," a
Baltimore County estate, whose his
tory Is intertwined with that of the
Bonapartes and the Pattersons, and
whose stately mansion is reminiscent
of Colonial days, has been sold by the
present owner, Mrs. Mary Kalbach
of Lancaster. Pa, to Frederick Glib
son. now residing In Baltimore.
The property is situated on the
Hanover turnpike. several miles be-
yond Reisterstown. 1t has had con-
siderable list of owners, several of
them known toshistory.
The estate seems to have been given
by William Patterson to his daughter
Elisabeth. who married Jerome Bona
parte and who lived there eight
years. In due time the property came
to Charles j. Bonaparte, who owned
it for a while.
Residents in the vicinity OF Mont
rose. who cherish tradition. say that
the residence was built by NAPOLEON
Bonaparte for Jerome. They have
elaborated a series OF. stories about
the property, which amount almost
to legends.
The old mansion Is of stone, with
narrow trellised porches. Until re-
Gently there was a chapel connected
with the house. One OF the most in
teresting things about the building is
the wooden pipe organ.
About the residence there are gar
dens. which were laid out with elab-
crate care and diversified streams.
I 1t is said that the new owner, who
bought the property through the real
estate firm of Charles II. Steffey, Inc.
will have the premises remodeled and
modernized and will occupy them.
In many ways the sale is one of
the most Interesting transactions that
has taken place in country property
for a long time:
