Description
The Meadows at Evergreen Museum & Library

Evergreen, an impressive Italianate home with classical revival additions, was built in 1857 by Baltimore's Broadbent family. Purchased in 1878 by John W. Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, for his son, T. Harrison Garrett, Evergreen was home to two generations of the Garrett family. The 48-room mansion, with its soaring portico, elaborate cornices, Tiffany-designed glass canopy, surrounding 26 acres of gardens and meadows, and elaborate detail in all aspects of its interior, is a superb example of architecture of the Gilded Age.
