Harry and Fulton Gordon Property
The Gordon Property is a site of one of the first residential subdivisions along the historic route one corridor in North Laurel, Maryland.
Prior to the industrial settlements of mills along the Patuxent river. The Gordon property was patented as part of Alexander and Absolute Warfieled's estate "Warfield's Range" which was resurveyed as "Sappington's Sweep" as part of an 1731 inheritance to Thomas Sappington from his grandfather Thomas Rutland. Route one was built along the property in 1749 which was operated as a turnpike from 1820-1865. In 1870, John and Elizabeth Water sold their interest in Sappington's sweep to William and Mary Cissel in 1890. The property was sold the same year for $35,000 to brothers Harry D. and Fulton R. Gordon from Bailey's Crossroads, who subdivided a tract on the Howard county side of the Patuxent river to form "North Laurel".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/030600/030652/pdf/msa_se5_30652.pdf )〕 The business office for the development was operated out of an office on 918F Street in Washington as Gordon & Bro, marketing real estate in the "suburbs" between Baltimore and Washington. By 1894, the Gordon brothers sold a portion of "North Laurel" for $64,000 to the Key Brothers & Company to finance the purchase of the Lincoln Hotel in Washington D.C. Fulton Gordon divorced shortly afterward and declared himself broke. The brothers built an American Foursquare on "Lot 10" prior to 1905 sitting prominently along route one with a large stone retaining wall. The house remained in their name until the late 1930s while the brothers developed land that would become Chevy Chase, Maryland. Land subdivision would be a booming business a century later, the "smart growth" features of tightly clustered lots featuring access to light rail services, walkable community and the county's first traffic circles remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s with some lots vacant today. Fulton R. Gordon was quoted as saying if the land had been given to him "I'd have been robbed".
==Present==
The Gordon house property is currently operated as McMillian Marine.
