Sudbrook Park was an early romantic suburb designed in 1889 by Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., the father of landscape architecture in America, on 204 acres of James Howard McHenry’s “Sudbrook” estate. Olmsted created a naturalistic landscape with curvilinear roads intersecting at triangular islands. In an early application of comprehensive land-use regulation, lots were sold subject to 16 restrictions suggested by Olmsted. No longer surviving are two original cottages, the Western Maryland Railway Station, a hotel, a livery stable, and a 9-hole golf course added in 1898.
