Designed by General John Hartwell Cocke and built in 1829, Glen Burnie reflects an eclectic blend of late Federal, Greek, Gothic, and Jacobean revival elements. The primary architectural and structural design features of the house include a cruciform floor plan with a distinct two-story, three-bay layout. The house is built on a full English basement with gable-end chimneys. The principal facade is laid in Flemish bond accented by historic brick parapets. The roofline features a mousetooth cornice, a signature Cocke detail. The primary floor consists of a wide central hall with a Palladian arch enhancing the two sections. The living room has a large arch dividing the main part of the living room, used as a music room. The dining room and a charming library with built-in book shelves are on the opposite side. Two charming ancillary structures include a guesthouse and Amish designed art studio. Thousands of daffodils are planted in a meadow close to the house creating a naturalist garden with native trees, shrubs and some exotics. In conservation easement.
